    Apologies: I take it all back! Maybe you can't afford it BECAUSE you got the M-H cases and a reloading die set When I got my Egyptian Rolling block, the rifle came "free" with the RCBS die set. And I have a M-H. And a Mauser 1871. All rather expensive for brass! But those old smoke poles are eye-catchers at the range, so crack your piggy-ban and persevere!

    Getting serious again: good tooling is worth it in saved time, effort and ammo!

    If you read his post, you'd have noticed it's a Martini-ENFIELD in .303 calibre. He didn't need M-H brass and dies.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction).

    Oops! Got carried away by my youthful enthusiasm again! I plead temporary derangement as a result of spending hours reforming 24 gauge shotshells into M-H cartridge cases. Make that trying to reform...
