    Load data and components

    Here is the list of contacts that I use to obtain the components to assemble my own.

    1. DJ Friesen Imports::HOME This is an import company (DJ Friesen Imports) that I receive the Brass and Bullets (Hornady #3302B 8X56R .330 205gr SP). These I have included.

    2. BOSES GUNS 1008 S Main St., Emerson NE. 68733. Here I received the LEE Reloading Dies 90925.

    3. Load data in the Cartridges of the World - 206 Ball IMR 3031 45 gr.
    - I have worked up my own load - 205gr bullet IMR 4064 44.5 gr.


    I hope this will help others.

    I got both brass and 205 grain bullets from Graf And Sons. The funny thing is, if I look up the Hornady part number Graf's lists on the Hornady website, they don't claim to make any such thing. I wonder if Grafs has a special deal with Hornady?
