My neighbour has a Model 99 in 303 Savage, and wondered if I could load up a couple boxes of rounds for him.

The Lee manual has load data, and I think I can borrow a set of dies, but is brass easily available?

Thanks.
 
Brass is a bugger to find for this one, most loaded boxes at a gunshow will runn you $50, you might find it for less if you are lucky.
If you want to get fancy you could make them out of 303Brit or 30-40.
I think Violater22 was getting some from Bertram???
The boys over at the 24hrcampfire have gone together to get a group purchase from time to time.
Maddog might know where you could find some too.

In a pinch some folks have used 30-30 Win brass, as have I but the accuracy was quite bad and the case has to expand .020" to fit the chamber.
Sorry for the news, it is a shame really, they are my favorite lever gun.
