I just picked up a very nice Martini Cadet in .310 and am in need of reloading stuff. Does any one have some they would part with? Never rode a bull, but have shot some. NRA life member NRA LEO firearms instructor (retired) NRA Golden Eagles member | ||

Rolland, I use improvised tools for mine. I use .32-20 cases trimmed to length. I then expand them using a little mandrel I turned up that replaces the "belling slide" in a Lee 9mmP belling die (the one designed to hold the powder measure on their progressive presses. After that, I use a powder that fills the case (unfortunately the specefic powder I use is a locally-made one which is probably not available where you are, namely Somchem S265). Once the cases are made and fire-formed, the reloading process only requires a die to eject the spent primer (I use my .44-40 dies for this, but I guess any pistol sizing die of .38 Spl or larger would work). I do not size the case, nor do I crimp the bullet. I simply replace the primer, add the powder and push the bullet in by hand. If correctly sized and lubed, it stays in there quite well. Don't know if that helps? | |||

Rolland, Pretty much the same as above. As far as I'm concerned the only suitable bullet (and I tried others) is the RCBS .310-120-RN #82023. It's the correct healed bullet for the .310. 4.6grs of Hodgdon Clays is what works in my rifle. I have bullets cast from the RCBS mould, be happy to send some your way if you'd like to give them a shot (pun intended). Craig | |||
