Re: Buffalo arms 30 Rem for sale

Aaaaannnd, they're sold out!

Hmmm, looks like they raised the price right before it sold out. $60 per box and $54 per if 5 or more bought. When I ordered, 10 days ago, it was $50 a box and $45 if 5 or more.

That's a nice looking pogo stick. I really like that flavor of peep sight on these guns, and the sling and recoil pad are very useful if one is going to hunt with it.

Re: Is this a good book on reloading?

RCBS will work in Lee machines. They were designed for single stage loading and using them in a progressive machine, a Dillon for example, takes a little thought. For instance, I use the seating die to seat only and have a separate crimp die so as to not over stress the brass.
