    Default Hello folks...........from SC

    Thanks for approving my addition to a great site;

    I'm retired military and also, police and fire. Now, just plain tired.

    I am an avid bullet and buckshot caster, reloader, and all around shooter. I have an old 03" Springfield that was sporterized
    by someone in the late 50's / 60's, that I want to shoot cast bullets in soon. Its a beautiful rifle.

    So, if anyone has any experience with this particular rifle and casts for keeping it fed, let me know.

    Thanks again,

    HiVelocity

    Welcome from Virginia.
    The 03 is a great rifle and I also shoot some cast slugs in mine. Remember to use a gas check.
