   Sorry Bos, Can't recommend that. With due respect to your precision engineering mate what you would have is a cobbled together die that you could not trust. Best swallow hard and get the correct die...

   Greetings Ariki, Interesting reading. To me the variation of 1.4 grains of powder is more of a worry than the 5.5 grains difference in case weight. Brass has a relative density of about 8.8 so the...

   Greetings Ariki, 1 grain seems a very low tolerance for cartridges, especially if the batches are not all from the same manufacturing lots. The boxes should have a lot number on them somewhere....

   Greetings Davetapson, Contrary to what you may have been told you don't save money by handloading you just shoot more for the same money. If you feel as though you might like to start handloading...
