See this thread from The Stalking Directory http://www.thestalkingdirectory.co.uk/showthread.php/8238-Reloading-on-a-Budget It's this that introduced me to the Classic loader and I too bought one from the states in .243. I already had calipers and some accurate scales which I use for work. I also bought a lee case trimmer which i haven't used yet, the lee reloading manual, Lee primer pocket cleaner and a set of Lee powder dippers. First I loaded 10 rounds using just the basic kit, my once fired ppu brass and the col set roughly the same as the factory ppu rounds. I practiced my dipping technique before starting and got all my charges within .01gn. These shot comfortably into 1.25" at 100m of a rolled up sleeping bag. Then I loaded a series of increased charge rounds using the lee dipper set in various combinations to get the desired loads. After shooting these I settled on the best load that used a single dipper in order to avoid any mis loading. An alternative would be to modify a dipper using small cardboard discs stuck in the to reduce the volume the desired amount. Since then I have loaded just under 200 rounds over the last 12months all of which shoot well under 1" at 100m. In order to make the reloading process as straight forward as possible I always keep on top of my brass. So as soon as I have 20 empties I decap, clean, resize and prime them. That way if I need some rounds loading it takes less than 1/2 an hour to load 40. I have no doubt that presses etc can produce better rounds but my Lee Classic Loader does everything I need it to do. I will eventually buy a press etc as I like buying new things for shooting but I'm happy for now Good luck with your reloading

It's 8pm but its "How do they do that"

Cracking book, there is also a cracking video floating about YouTube. Just have a search for PWRR. Lots of footage from the roof.

Hi Auntie I should be there around 1 (after the rugby!) if your short of someone to go round with. Jon

Pub is The Plough but everything else is spot on

Hi all, I had my early lessons there and the facilities were just adequate and no more. But there was talk of improvements and opening as a "proper" shooting ground. This has all taken place now and the place looks quite good. I shot there a few weeks ago on a Sunday morning. Tagged on with a couple beginners like me and we shot the 30 bird sporting. Only 3 stands so quite limited but I enjoyed it. The DTL and ABT look like the real thing as does the Compak layout. All the paths have been relaid and there are refreshments available. Personally I prefer the multi stand sporting layout at Lupton but Bigland is well worth a visit if your at a loose end on a Sunday morning or if you want to shoot DTL etc. Jon

Lupton again this Saturday Big thanks to Webber and 10wm for taking care of the hand holding duties. Hopefully see you again next time your up
