What are those two things below the cartridge?

Chamber casts made with Cerosafe. It the only way I know of to determine some of the chamber dimensions without having the reamer used to cut it. No, it wasn't blown off. Its were the patch was in the barrel to hold the molten Cerosafe.

A couple more...

A cast of my 338 Federal FL die, the chamber cast and a case.

Don't buy the reload books? I guess there's no sense in knowing what the bullet/cartridge dimensions are, min/max loads, ballistic coefficients, drop tables etc are. : )

Most all of that information can be had online. I did buy a cartridge specific book for 15 dollars which was a compilation of all available bullet and powder information.

I was set up by a gun shop owner and can call him at any point for information. I do have some "downloaded" copies of manuals that I can refer to. I am a beginner and I'm doing it without 100 dollars of manuals is all I'm trying to say. They are very useful though.

I have to say that I agree..One does NOT need all the books..But if you want to cross reference you will need another book to do so..lol

Alot of stuff on line I would be careful of..Unless you know for sure it is a reliable source..That is why I tell people to get the Lyman manual.It covers a lot more than the others..Of course there is the ABC's of reloading and it is not a bad book..I read it...

But suit yourself and do as you will..If you got everything people in forums tell you to get or what you need,you better be rich and have a huge reloading room...lol...John

If you want to believe all that is written by the honest people on the internet: 1. They have never missed a shot. 2. They can shoot 1/2 moa groups all day long at 1500 yards in a 50 mph wind, out of a 2" pistol barrel. 3. Everything they have ever shot dropped right there (DRT). 4. They have tried everthing, and only their way/item works and all the rest are junk. 5. They say they are 63 years old and have been shooting/reloading/hunting for 70 years. Oh, I forgot to mention, they are French models.

Uh... Bonjour...
Yup been there done all of those.

But then again I'm also rich out my ears, have more model girlfriends than I can count, and have shot everything that can be hunted.


Oops sorry this isn't my dream. I really need to talk to somebody about those.



Sorry guys I couldn't help it.

The best way is to find the people who are respected the most that hang around along enough for people to know them and not their fake personality. Find 5 of those guys and see what they agree on.

I could tell you were a French model by your accent, and the good looks were a given.

It's what I use as a beginner kit. The hornady and rcbs kits are more expensive, but as you start adding and upgraded the Lee set-up they become more competitive, so IMO if money is a factor definitely get the Lee kit to get to work and start reloading, but if you have the money take a close look at the other kits.Just my novice 2 cents.

I have that one. I like the press and there dies, the powder measure gets the job done, and so does the scale, but I use my old ohaus scale instead of the lee one.

The Lee will get the job done and well but its on backorder and I seriosly doubt it will be back in stock anytime soon.
I own 4 presses The Dillion stays set up for 204, and 223 most of the time and the other 12 calibars get loaded up with the RCBS IV. The old Lyman terrent served me well for 20 years but one sits now due to a broken bolt Lyman give me the runaround on=No more orange. I got a Lee press in a trade deal with the thought of useing it for a range press but have yet to use it much....Kinda cheesey compaired to the others.
