I have been checking out some of the other forums and I dont think the Lee jobby fits the bill.
I have a LARGE amount of lead ingots.
I also have a LARGE amount of wheel weight ingots
I also have a LARGE amount of range back stop collected stuff smelted into ingots they have all been stored and mixed up to gether I am trying to sort out what is what before casting some boolits.
I can not do any thing until I sort out this mess.Dont think the Lee thing is gonna help.

The Lee can do the job but is fiddly to use and needs some kind of staedying rig to be built to get decent readings through the magnifier (?). Like most Lee things if you enjoy a faff on then they are OK however if you want something to work as advertised out of the box then the Lee isn't for you.

I recommend and use the Cabine Tree one by Gussy, it will measure boolit and case run out too, a fine machine.

I had lovely weekend at Bisley the solitude was invigorating.

Looks like a poor Imperial from what I was hearing entrywise, the Historic entries were way down.

Any way you know my mantra "Shoot Local!"

I've been going to this event now for years and it was the worst I've ever seen it, money is tight and people are thinking hard before travelling and spending.

Thank you banker and financial w*****s, still with this lot in being freinds of the rich they won't have to pay for their greed and irresponsibilty we will.

Not to mention 13 years of a total lack of regulation of the banking industry under NuLabour...what other industry operates without regulation and with such high risk?

FSA were asleep in the back room when teller was being mugged.

Absolutely, following on in the dergulatory footsteps of Twatcher and her across the pond (life) fag boy Reagan. :bad:
