Gun and gear reviews First rifle

Post image

Finally got my first rifle. 1917 SMLE in amazing condition. Already looking at a .22 to just poke holes and have fun with!

Based af. Now you have to find a Lee loader for the .303 just only use your own spent brass as it only neck sizes. Makes it a lot more cost efficient to shoot.

Sorry what do you mean? I’m looking at reloading my own ammo. But right now isn’t practical as I live in a 1 bedroom
Apt, and don’t have a whole lot of space

Lee loader kit doesn't require a press.

Lee (the reloading company) also makes a handheld press. Combine that with a neck sizer. I wouldn't wanna use the handheld press for full sizing.

When I first got into reloading I had all my equipment in about 3x 5 gallon buckets that I could set up pretty much anywhere.
