That is 35 years of shooting for my 270 harvesting an elk, pronghorn, and deer every year.

today SWMBO and myself were wandering through the recycling part of refuse dump..."this any use to you" she says pointing....
"yes " I reply
"buy it" she says
so a LEE 3 turret press found its way home....it has a #2 shell holder in it.
press looks to be in good working order and it stops in place with click OK
and the best bit.....$15
now to fit it on reloading table next to the LEE challenger.
Gil isnt the only one to find bargains...he just does it more often than most.

Wait, the Nosler / Winchester combined technology Ballistic Silvertip? .277, 130gr?
I have a unopened box my brother gave me for a birthday like 30 years ago. It's just been sitting on a shelf all this time. IDK what shipping to NZ is like... I wish you were closer, I'd trade them to you for something.

The thought is there mate, but unfortunately the NZ Govt has outlawed any firearms parts or related bits and bobs from being mailed into the country.
I am currently holding a couple of boxes of NOSLER BALLISTIC TIP 7MM 120GR that I bought for Radar last July…I have had no luck finding a way to get them to him…yet, but I’m working on it.
