Malcolm is a legend a true old school aussie and great to talk to he makes allot of his own gear apparently but his projies and I say this with respect to the other manu's out there they are for a 303 what Scenars and Bergers are to the effie shooters even the colour of the jackets is totally different from all the rest.

Does Mal still have the same PH No. 07 *****167 as I may enquire what 4,000 of his projies would set me back but I should imagine he would not know when he will do the run for the 303's. better hedge on them Aussie48 I have my last packet as a collectible.

Hi, me again. Can anyone fix me up with spec's for these upsetting dies? .312's are none existent in England bar PPU's which I've been told are useless.

[Aussie48]

Is there any chance of making a bulk order from we Boys in OZ to persuade him to do a run? I would be in for 2,500 for starters? If the quantity was enough it might give him the incentive to do a run.

Ill go 4,000.

I'm getting upset

Looks like you'll have to wait for me, I'll not abuse the good will of someone who's spared time to help me.

I'm getting upset

Just looking in again. I'd given up being noticed. I'm still interested in these bumping up dies if anyone can supply spec's - or even a picture & few notes on how they work.

I am posting this for others to read my response and ponder at your request from Mr.E and my asking you for help so if Badger or other moderators delete this post well so be it but read on and see my reasoning.

You perhaps have not experienced a real drought of projectiles/powder/primers as we do over here in Australia we have a debacle over the USA not shipping anything out if the Eastern States suffer with supply ours on the Western side of the country completely miss out. (No offence ppl just the way it is)
I will say I must be a real threat to the likes of Sierra, Berger, Hornady, Barnauls and Woodleigh if I made 1 .311 projectile at a time and here I was thinking that we at milsurps helped each other.
I do not feel you engender the comradeship of this site at all, I may not know as much as most people on this site but one thing I do know in the true Australian spirit that we help each other where we can, I appreciate you elevating my beliefs

I apologise if you feel I'm not being helpful. I'll elucidate my posts.
The getting upset thing arose out of placing a couple of posts requesting help on squishing bullets - and then the 'conversation' continuing around me without any acknowledgement, not even a b**ger off.
I appealed again for help after quite a pause and received it via PM from Mr E. He has requested that I don't put this information on an open public space. He has replied to me that he is prepared to help individual forum members so I'm a little at a loss as to why he hasn't PM you.
I intend to try an adaptation (& hopefully improvement ) of the method and equipment shared with me & if successful (or even not) I am intending to post the results of my efforts as soon as I've had a chance to try things out. As they will be my own work I'll not feel obliged to withhold anything.
As regards Me E's dies sets I'll say only this - they are pretty much what might be expected & I hadn't proceed with anything along those lines as I had thought there might be problems with such a set up, but it appears to work quite well.
As regards shortage of bullets and ammo - we here in the UK are not immune from the whims of the USA & I wouldn't have pleaded for info upsetting .308's if a decent .311 was available over here.
I am well aware of the point of forums but it appears I haven't come across so well as I might in this instance, for which I appologies again.
All I can now say is - watch this space.

[Buntline]

I have just been reading through this thread. Mr E has been quite helpful & PM'd at least two other members with the same information he's sent me, ... so why the attack on me for not posting this stuff on the forum?
This process has formed part of his business in the past, as far as I can gather, & he has told me it may again which is why he doesn't want it widely publicised. I now find myself in the enviable position of upsetting either him or you just by asking for the sort of help usual on a forum such as this.
I'm saying no more for now.
