real American hero and inspiration at a time when we needed heros.

great responses. my first choice would be 45 colt. however my daily carry on the farm or during a woods walk is my glock 23 40sw, 180gr flat nose. plenty for most anything. it points well, sights...

I am not sure why either, dick. 30-40 is an excellent hunting cartridge as is without having to push the envelope. if I ever needed anything heavier there is always my H&R buffalo classic in 45-70 or...

that's a nice looking hand press, ned. being able to load experiment at the range bench rest would be a plus. thanks.

butlersrangers, thank you for that info. my reloads will be with cast bullets. I had thought about using a 308 neck only die but thought the different brass thickness would make for different neck...

thanks for the info parashooter. looks like I may have to get a die set. best, john

does anyone remember/know whether or not lee makes their loader for 30-40 krag? I would like to neck size only. thanks! john
