found my dies!!!!!!

[Win94]

My Great Grandfather's 1907 Savage 1899 in .303 Savage will be breathin fire this weekend!!! Wholesale Sports had a set of .303 Savage Dies on the shelf!!!!

 

['Boo]

On a more important note where are you getting the brass from??

 

[Win94]

I have 30 pieces of brass in the tumbler right now once fired from my Uncle who used to have the rifle. I also have 5 full original boxes of factory 190 grain Imperial from my Uncle. I never wanted to fire them off until i found dies.

 

[Rembo]

that factory ammo might be worth more than you think...I'd check it out before i fired it off.

 

['Boo]

That brass and ammo is worth as much as the rifle!

You may need to anneal the necks on those old cases as the may have age-hardened.

Try resizing only a few looking closely at the necks for small cracks developing.

Rick i had one box advertised in the ammo and reloading EE for 65.00 bones all original and the box is in great shape. Not one bite however.

I will probably fire a couple boxes off in due time and with the 30 pieces of brass i currently have, i should be okay for a while of reloading and have the three remaining boxes for safe keeping.

Thanks for the annealing tip Boo. I have yet to ever have to do this so iwill research how to go about it.

I sold two 20 count boxes of nice shape but old factory Dominion .303 Savage ammo last year for $100.

Before you do something that you may regret, give Clay a call at Prophet River, and see if he would be able to locate some brass for you from down south. I would suspect that Starline makes brass in 303 savage.

oops, wrong, Starline doesn't make it; at least it's not on the website, but someone has to.

Bertrams and Norma both make it, both work great, I have some of each, plus I make my own from 307 Winchester Brass. les

Good call on the 307win; I guess that I could get off of my ass and look at a book.

I sure appreciate the input fellas!!!!

 

[Violator22]

Here is the method I use, right off my site. The problem with using Swift brass is the case head is the same as a 250 Savage, which is smaller, and you will not always get positive extraction. Les

Mike, it isn't in a book, I did my research using some books though, and even though there is some work involved, I am still shooting my 1st 20 pieces and that was 7 reloads ago. Les

Graffs sells PRVI Serbian .303 Sav brass if you can get one of the importers to bring it in for you...................Harold

When I stopped at Epp's store before Christmas, I saw eight sets of 303 Savage dies on the shelf and I wouldn't doubt there are more! Regards, Bill.

 

[MadDog]

Mark, are you saying you'd rather sell the loaded stuff and buy more brass?

I've got some factory Winchester brass here in the house somewhere.
