Title: Re: Other 30-40 rifles
Post by waterman on Nov 19th, 2011 at 8:46pm
The whole effort of finding and restoring a Winchester-Lee Navy rifle to its original state, then getting dies, making cases (requires really heavy duty press), making sure the rifle had the safety modifications, & developing loads is now approaching $5000.  All I wanted to do is to find out how accurate they were given our present highly developed 6 mm bullets.  Some things simply cost more than they are worth.  That's almost half the price of pretty good second hand pickup.  Or 3 or 4 of the nicest Krags you can ever imagine.
