Me 3. But I also use a Lee Breechlock Challenger for depriming to keep the crud off my Wamadet and for a few "sundry" tasks tied to the Breechlock system (bullet sizing etc). Mostly it's the Wamadet though. I also have an ancient Co-Ax, but I haven't used it in a couple of years. Great press...

A pocketull of string, a box of matches and parents who can stay out of the way for a few hours, or better yet, days.

No one manufacturer makes the best version of everything, and every manufacturer (probably) has something that they either do uniquely or better than anyone else. Whether that is Lee FCDs, Forster lock rings for the Co-Ax press (also a strong contender for a best-in-class product), Imperial...

When I started reloading and was skint I used a little paper cone funnel I made with a piece of old railway ticket and snipped the point off. I was doing it for 308, but you could make it any size....

Really? That's extremely disappointing. I knew that they had become a brand of Gamo, but I thought they had actually brought some production back to the UK and that the Lightening was part of that. What about them isn't good? Is it cosmetic or is it worse than that? I'm interested as I was...

Any love for the BSA Lightening GRT? I haven't got hands-on with one but most reviews I have seen have been pretty positive. Technically not a spring gun, but I think you will find that rams are replacing springs at the "better" end of the break barrel market (my impression anyway) it would be...

Until seeing the comments about power restrictions and the desire to stick with an R8 I was going to suggest trying a 30-30, but it might not suit your circumstances too well. 7mm-08 could be softer shooting, and you should be able to get a barrel for it easily, ditto 6.5CM, and I guess 7x57...

I'd be pretty disappointed to get fewer than 10 firings out of a neck-sized only case - especially with such a reduced load. Out of interest, with such a reduced load do you experience hang-fires at all? A few years ago I experimented using cast-loads in my 375 - which was generally...

The main thing it would do is establish your right (Federally Recognized) to acquire and possess the rifle - it would also protect your brother in the (highly unlikely) event any questions were ever asked of him. https://www.atf.gov/firearms/qa/may-aliens-legally-united-states-purchase-firearms...

You may be correct, legally speaking, but I believe that the barrel is already fitted to the action that the OP is contemplating. In addition, airports (even British ones) are actually pretty used to passengers turning up with firearms, US ones even more so, turning up at the airport with a...

@desmodronic I am *slightly* confused as to the exact sequence of actions you are looking to follow. I think that your brother is going to acquire a rifle action for you in the US, and you will then collect it from him during a personal visit? To the best of my knowledge, so long as you have...

I *think* he's in BC, certainly somewhere in Canada, although he's mentioned things a couple of times that make me think he might be German originally... But I really enjoy just how positive he is about pretty much everything.

Yes, I am a big fan of his channel. I love how enthusiastic he is, and how he is able to appreciate such a wide variety of firearms, from London "best" guns to budget single shots. One of the best firearms resources on the Internet, IMHO.

They are accurate and safe, but so frustrating and time consuming to use, with the ball bearing and the knurled wright for the fine adjustment. I picked one up in a mixed box of reloading equipment, but gave it away as there was no way I would ever use it over either of my Lyman or Redding...
