Cheap little Boito 20” weed sprayer, only good for a close range fluffle colony though!

Much tidier if you want to cacciatore stew up some wabbits without damaging the meat.

I’m thinking of putting a muzzle brake on it so I don’t lose site focus after each shot. Love the thing though. The hornady ammo moves along at 3900fpsQuote:

Any and all advice truly appreciated if keen on passing down knowledge please Gentlemen [emoji120]
Contemplating tonight saving/investing next year into reloading after finally sitting back to absorb cartridge prices on the new but old 30-30.

First ever personally owned centerfire rifle up on the block and to be honest a little shocked at their near 12g rarer speciality needs 1oz slug similar prices.
I do understand an investment would need to factor in yearly volumes required but honestly wouldn’t even know where to start in regards quality equipment/supplies and or a threshold to just say pay a store $2 each?

@MB sorry mate can't help you but you just brought back fond memories of growing up in the bush. High school had a gun club. Kids coming to school with backpacks and sheathed shotties raised nobody's eyebrows. Was just normal. Teacher running the gun club would be busy packing cartridges daily in a small room, door open, off the main corridor. Ka-chunk, ka-chunk, packin' ammo. Lunch time was accompanied by shots ringing out for the hour every day, just across the road from the footy oval. Boom, boom, boom. Imagine that happening in an urban school today? Fark there'd be cops called, heat-seeking chopper overhead, school locked down, councillors called in to help the traumatised staff and children. What the fk happened to our society.....
@MB Mark suggest you call O'Reilly's Firearms High Street, Thornbury (03) 9480 3366_. O'Reilly's been in the game a long time, use to go there and would be a good start. Note they have an online store (joined up with others).

Good for a browse as a start. There would be second hand presses around but would buy new dies/tools.
Thank you John, appreciated mate!

Got it up in Hahndorf mate, at Leather smith there. It was for 12ga but he gave me some new rivets so I could resize it to the 30-30Quote:

I have a simple lee loader and will be loading my own as well. I used to do handloads when i had my 7mmRem Mag because that thing was dear to shoot.Quote:

I’ve got a MEC set for reloading 12ga. Paid $200 or $250 with 800 primers, 800 wads 40kg of various size lead shot and a phucktonne of once fired shells, oh and he threw in a simplex press as well. I haven’t used the simplex need dies for probably 22-250, 30-30 and 308
Good fun loading for the shotty though
I’m sold now thanks Growler Mate, not as expensive as I first guesstimated with Mickhead’s advice for under a grand startup too.
Just subscribed to this channel found for some great ‘tips’ out there in Youtubey land too!

Yeap Phil, it’s Remington that went under. I was talking to a guy for Winchester on Friday and he told me. Everything is in short supply and gone up because of the situation in the USA, 22 magnum rounds are now $30. Worldwide shortage of projectiles.Quote:
