    Greetings, Just read through the NZDA submission which was mostly supportive of the proposal for ranges. I suggest we should all read them. The NZDA submission is available on their web site. GPM.

    Greetings, Yes undersize brass in an oversize chamber. Unless you are wanting to load full power ammo for some reason light loads should allow you to just neck size. Full length sizing will kill the...

    Greetings, I see the Parker Hale Standard .303 listed at $36.00. I bought one about 1967 and it cost me $29.00 (fourteen pounds 10 shillings) with a new barrel. I could have saved $2.00 by getting...
