Reloading .303 British : .303 bullets??

 

I didn't need them that bad as they will be strictly for hunting but I at least needed 100 for load development and hunting.

 

You guys really need to get into boolit casting. If you run out you just go to the garage and make some more.  For 99% of your shooting they will fulfill your needs just fine.  A completed .303 round loaded with a Cast Boolit is worth about .09 cents US. .03 for gas check on the boolit, .03-4 for the primer and .02 for the powder.

 

The vast majority of my shooting with Centerfire Rifles and handguns is done with boolits that I cast myself.  .30-30,.308,.30-06, .303Brit, 44 and 45 pistols and .45-70.

 

I know it sounds complicated but after you get set up (< $100) you can make good boolits quickly. Lyman has a new Cast Boolit Handbook  that they just revised for the first time  since 1978 and it has virtually everything you need to know about the subject.

 

I started with a Lee .44 cal. mould, a lead dipper, and small cast iron pot used on my kitchen stove. I made thousands of boolits with that setup.  I shot every one of them thru my S&W M29 revolver. I still have all those tools, except now my wife would make me use my little one burner Coleman Stove outside.  I have much more equipment accumulated over 40+ years, but I could go back and make good boolits with the above mentioned stuff at a Camp Site if I needed to and load them with a Lee Loader.

 

I started Casting Boolits in 1976.  I find it to be one of the most interesting facets of the shooting hobby.  About the only factory ammo that I shoot now is .22LR.  and I can load any of my Centerfire rounds for less than .22's are currently going for.
