In 1978 I was told by my grand dad that the secret to rifle accuracy is, a quality bullet, fired down a quality barrel..... How has that changed?

It will get on to my bench after its been through the Lathe and Milling machine and not before. I only buy kit that meets my needs some times I have to alter it to make it work. Other manufactures stuff just works out of the box. Lee stuff needs to be fettled to make it work.

I have never used a Lee Loader die set before I bought it because Le Wilson do not make stuff for milsurp calibers and I thought I could modify the Lee Loader to work with the Wilson kit. I was right there is some machining involved but the end result is worth it as far as I am concerned.

A interesting project kept me entertained for the afternoon.

So have you got any kits that you can sell me or are you just yanking my chain.

Just yanking.

My Loaders are keepers. In all seriousness, even S/H Lee Loaders attract nearly new prices when they come up for sale.
