    Keep us posted so others may learn from what you discover Bill.

    I was extremely low tech when I first started annealing using a shell holder a battery drill and a canned gas burner I sure junked allot of cases as I went by the blue ring that appears when annealed correctly (303 cases) its only a split second from good to junk I got it fairly close but the results more often than not were not the best.
    So saved for a year and got the AMP machine as when your feeding 3 F class rifles, a full bore rifle, a 308 field class rifle and 5 303's all banging away throwing lead the cases just pile up.

    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).

    Beware of Accurate 2200 powder. Do not deviate from published data by Accurate. This was originally a surplus powder for the 7.62x39. Do not exceed publish information on it as the pressure can jump with just a small amount of powder increase. I used it to load .223 with a 55 gr FMJ bullet. I was at 21 grains when I started to get primer failures in my SP1 Colt. Nice holes in the Winchester primers. The load was 2 grains UNDER published max. So start with starting loads and increase slowly.

    Thank you for the heads-up. I've bought Hodgdon H4895 and IMR 4064 so start working uploads using Hornady Brass, 168 gr. BTHP MatchKings and Barnes 175 gr. LRX bullets.
