Which Reloader for 470 N.E.?
Need help in selecting reloader for 470 and 375 flanged. Wondering which one most of you use? Also are there any good reloading manuals
currently being published for the N.E. cartridges.
Thanks

Are you asking about a reloading "press" or a company to reload the rounds? If you are asking about a press, I use an RCBS Rockchucker Supreme to load both .470 NE and .500 NE with great satisfaction. I would also suggest reading Graham Wright's book SHOOTING the ENGLISH DOUBLE RIFLE before beginning any reloading for these rounds. There is load data contained therein also. You will also find data in the Barnes manual and the A-Square manual. There is load data on this site and many here who are more than willing to help with tips and suggestions.

Or do you mean the Reloader line of powders - RL 15, RL 19, etc...?

To add; Swift (470)and Barnes (470 & 375 FL) manual has printed data. Speer bullet website has 470 NE data.

I use an RCBS Ammomaster, plenty of room and leverage.

Another vote for RCBS RC Supreme.....excellent for the bigger calibers. They don't give those 470 dies away however. Graf and Sons or Midway have good selections (usually) of brass, bullets, powder, etc.
Shooting the British Double Rifle is an excellent pulication....but your rifle doesn't have to be British.

Good luck.
