Pm me the shop phone number in Victoria if you would.


The Redding Auction site Was amazing with all the old stuff they have in
The small lots were really interesting.

Brought bk memories of when I started reloading and all the gear that I was given. They took bk the two old Texan shotgun presses but left me all the old rifle dies and an old press. Wish I had all those old powders but I took a lot of the old stuff over and gave it to John Wooters who was a friend that wrote on Whitetails for Peterson’s Hunting back in the 70s thru the 90s because I did not have all the guns to fit the odd dies and bullets and powders.

H4831 shot fantastic for my rifles back in the trophy deer hunting days and does now except the 7mm-08. There may have been better powders but with the old nosler lead tipped
Bullets and partition bullets and even Remington 150 rounds with the bullets replaced with The nosler bullets all hit the same under and inch group. Wish they still made the old lead BT’s.


Thanks to all for sharing all your information on these topics.

I look at all those old lots and what people owned and shot back in the day and fig that will be most of us one day with all our crap unless one of the kids will will use it.

Be Safe out there. JimD
