Re: Looking at Lee Loadmaster (or pro 1000) I got my Pro 1000 set up tonight. First off, I am using the Auto Disc Pro with the spring return(it came with my first indexing turret kit) as opposed to the ball chain return. The chain return is one thing that I have hear a lot of complaints...

Re: Looking at Lee Loadmaster (or pro 1000) The Pro 1000 is a 3 station press. The Load Master is a 5 station press. The Load master has a beefier ram and is the "O" style cast frame. I've been loading pistol cartridges for quite a few years on a 3 station Lee Deluxe indexing turret. I've...

Re: New to hand loading for 308. Questions about dies First, get several different reloading manuals and READ THEM. I don't mean that you need to memorize all the load data, but you need to make sure that you take hand loading seriously. This no place to take short cuts or start wild catting...

Re: New to hand loading for 308. Questions about dies You are also going to need a shell holder for the press. The auto prime shell holder does not work on the press ram. You will probably want to get enough quick change bushing for all of your dies(how ever many you wind up with) as this...

Re: New to hand loading for 308. Questions about dies I would add a crimp die(I like Lee Factory Crimp dies) and a powder trickler. Both are inexpensive and will help with the consistency of your loads. I would say a neck sizing die would also be a good addition. I'm not sure if anyone else...

Re: Enfields! My first (and only for now) Enfield I just picked this up a couple days ago. I traded a Steyr M9A1 straight across for the rifle, magazine, bayonet, sling and 90 rounds of new ammo. I know he got the best of me financially but I just had to have this rifle. The...

Re: Stock issue?!? I just sent a B&C Medalist, 2 back to Bell & Carlson. The action rocked on a high point in the bedding block and it pulled tight to the right side making contact down the entire length of the barrel when the mounting screws were tightened. The milling for the bottom metal...

Re: New LR shooter The stock arrived today...and will be going back to Bell & Carlson tomorrow. Long story short, I think stockys sent out a returned stock. The bottom metal is obviously offset from the bedding pillars and when the mounting screws are torqued the action pulls to the right so...

Re: New LR shooter I ordered the B&C stock on Thursday night. Stockys showed it as out of stock, back order OK. Friday morning I called to ask what the usual turn around for this item was. I was told 4-6 weeks as a general rule. Friday afternoon I got an email that my package had shipped from...

Re: New LR shooter Well, I spent some time and a very little money on trying to beef up the Hogue stock. A piece of 1/2" square steel tubing, some Alumilite epoxy resin and a bit of Devcon 10110. It's definitely better but still not great. I ordered a Bell & Carlson Tactical Medalist Style 2...

Re: New LR shooter It has the scope base installed but that's it as far as extras go. I found it on Buds for $637 free shipping. After FFL fees and scope base I figure I'm ahead by at least $180.00. The local shops are all hitting this one around $650.00 which is probably where the asking...

Re: New LR shooter Well, I found a deal that I could not pass up today. It's not exactly what i had in mind but it should be enough to get started with considering the limited amount of real long range time I am going to actually see. While at one of my favorite LGSs pricing the Savage...

Re: New LR shooter I went walk about today and found a Savage .270 with the AccuTrigger used for $439.00. I don't think that this rifle has the AccuStock, but I am not sure how big a deal that really is. I see that the .270 is listed as a long action .308 bolt face.I have been told that this...

Re: New LR shooter Thanks for the response! Wannashootit, I will be hand loading what ever I end up with. Cost/availability is still an important issue but not really a deal breaker. I have heard from more than a few that the 300WM can be brutal, and the AccuTrigger feels spectacular in dry...

Hi there all! This is my first post and will likely be my only post for a while. I have not been a long range shooter but have a bit of experience out to 300 yds. I have a custom built 98 Mauser rifle in .243 that my Dad had built back in the early 70's. 21" barrel, but I have no idea what...
