    UPDATE

    Hi all,

    I appreciate when folks come back with an update so I thought I'd stop in real quick.
    I've been chasing my own tail trying to make a couple bucks with auction reselling but I had some time last night.

    50 beautiful black tips loaded into brand new brass over 48 grains of IMR 4895. Not expecting to shoot them anytime soon (the range I go to certainly wouldn't appreciate it). But golly they sure do look pretty!

    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). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    They do look pretty at that. Another suggestion. Drop your charge seat the bullet. Drop the charge seat the bullet. Drop the charge seat the bullet. That way you shouldn't be able to over charge or miss a charge.

    I use a powder measure on powder that allows, I scoop load or scale otherwise. I use a large loading block and check powder comparisons with a bright overhead light before seating...

    That's exactly how I did it. I just have a single stage so it made the most sense -- but checking the powder level in all the shells at once was quite comforting. There's some serious forces we're dealing with here, after all.

    Always keep your load density above 50% that way if you do happen to double charge a round the case will over flow.
    I use an RCBS Comp powder measure to throw all on the block @.3gn under grab one from the block then trickle up, drop weighted powder in, tilt the case & look in checking the level even though I have just dropped it in there, then seat that cases projie putting that finished round in another block in case I decide to do a run out check or meplat them all.
