Darn! Good thing I logged on this month...I would have missed your response!

7.35x51mm Carcano ammo

Only about sixty .300" diameter bullets remaining; no more brass (tired of forming 7.35 for the moment). Bring your brass and I'll assist you with rolling your own Carcano ammo (even fewer .267" diameter bullets on hand). Test-fire onsite (No. Stonington) ...assuming anyone ever looks at t...

Next one is around Easter week. Stay tuned, it may not be as open to the public as previous events (there was an attendant at the gate in November and he implied it was less of a public event due to careless gun handling by outsiders and such).

Worth a look if you are in the area. There are other presses there, but I don't have every detail: MEC, P-W, etc. Plenty of older stock/partial boxes of bullets in .224", .257", .264". 277", .284" and 308" diameter. If I had the cash, I'd buy all of the .308" fodde...

The Dillon press is marked $300. I think it comes with a .38/.357 toolhead (whatever it's called).
Picked up a 100 ct box of Speer 180g Round Nose in .308", $11

You can go to their website, but here's info regarding an earlier scheduled match: This Sunday April 8 poc is having a centerfire outdoor plate shoot. All are invited. We start shooting at 10am sharp. Poc members are $5 per gun all nonmembers will $10per gun. Hope to see you all there. This Sunday’s...

FWIW, POC puts on pistol plate shoots. from their latest e-mail (for Sunday 27 May 2018): This Sundays plate shoot will be a head to head competition, 12 targets for each shooter. Extended weather forecast shows a 40% to 50% chances of thunder storms in the morning to early afternoon. I'll look for ...

.38 caliber HBWCs are gone.
The $100 Carcano is a parts gun; no bolt.
There two other 7.35mm Carcano rifles there. Long gun $175, Carbine $350.
I bought an 80 count box of Speer 165g RNSP for $8; pretty representative of the pricing on these bullets.

Several new items on the bench, new to the bench, but not necessarily new from the manufacturer: Dillon RL 550 press. Dillon 148g HBWC (presumably a 500 count box, I didn't look closely): $30 Unknown .356" diameter LSWC (again assume it's 500 count, forget the weight and brand): $40 Plenty of o...

I think the DNC list just verifies that your number is legitimate and targets you for more calls.
