Hi I am waiting for part II. I already bought a 310 tool and two set of dies, just for nostalgia and fun. please don't let us waiting very long for part II. very instructional videos. Thanks
Fun video. My Dad just gave me a lyman tru-line press and a bunch of those 310 dies. No idea if i'll ever use them but it sure looks like they would be functional
@USRimfireShooter I also have a couple of Tru-Line presses. Just a little "heads up" there is no problem with using 310 dies in a Tru-Line press but dont make the mistake of trying to use Tru-Line dies in a 310 tool. Although the dies are threaded the same and will fit you can stick cases in the sizing die since the 310 does not have sufficient leverage to pull the cases out of a Tru-Line sizing die. The seating dies are interchangeable without problem.
@Gungeek It's close to Christmas & I feel like being nice, besides if I stared uploading 45 min videos I might get confused with that long winded "dude" from Utah...
I started loading on Lee handloading kits but I've never used the Lyman Tongs. Lyman makes the dies for .38 Special/.357 Magnum and I happen to have one, perhaps some time I'll pick up a set and check it out.
Interesting, but seems more complex then the Lee kit I am used to. Also I wonder about the cost, Lee runs about $25 for the kit, I would guess the Lyman setup has to be much more.
@logcabinlooms Yes there are more bits and pieces than the Lee and new they cost a whole lot more, A complete set of handles and dies cost about $120. Second hand they are much more reasonable in price, I've bought handles for $10 and die sets for $20. The big thing I like about the 310 over the lee is that it's not necessary to beat on the thing to make ammo, and you don't need a mallet and a sturdy surface. They both make good ammo if the operator does his part.
Just curious, how much money do you save by reloading your own ammunition opposed to buying all new ammunition? After paying for the gunpowder, primers, bullets, is it really worth it it or do you just do it for fun? Isn't it easy to create faulty ammunition that will blow up in you face?
@EvilWizardMaltheore I can reload a box of .303 British with soft point bullets for about $11 a box, the cheapest I can buy new is about $22 a box. If I use my cast bullets instead I can load a box for less than $5. Reloading is safe if you can read and follow directions.
@314299 no its not that its too long, its just so interesting, i like to watch reloading videos, have you seen iraqveteran's vid on his dillan rotating reloading press, that is the vid that got me into re-loading, you vid has encouraged me to buy a .308 lyman 310, but really want to find a 7.62x54R
@KiwiTomCrawford Glad to hear that you found it interesting, I never know when I do a longer video if I'm rambling or not! Lyman did make 310 dies in 7.62x54R, but they might be a bit hard to find.
I know I've said this before, but again another spectacularly engrossing production - the pun is intended as an illustration of my reaction. I have a round bullet Lyman mould for my Hawken, but it pales in interest when I think about the possibility of reloading myself my fairly modest amounts of .308 (used in the AIA No4 that you once kindly wrote at length to me about).
@AussieMaleTuber I'm well enough to shoot and reload so that's good from my perspective! If you just soot modest amounts of .308 a 310 tool might suit you just fine. I would suggest getting a decent used one to save some money, the new ones are priced rather high.

I forwarded your video to Discovery Channel's producers for review.
I wish you luck in getting a shot with their programing producers.
No idea if or when they'll contact you. Good Luck!

I trust we find you well.

I look foreward to Part 2.

Nice tool. Wonder if it is possible to use it for full-sizing.

@yevgenz The 310 has nowhere enough leverage to perform full length sizing.
