Does anyone here have experience with reloading these cases that can shed a bit more light on the subject?
I don't want to hunt down more primers, not to mention its a real pain in the arse sometimes finding un-postable components when you live in the country.
Thanks in advance for any info you have.

Did you buy the primers in geelong?

That'll give me something to play with while i hunt around for s&b primers, theres no rush on the brass as at this stage i still need sights and cosmetic work on the gun, I've not yet got any pills or worked out what powder I'll use, etc.
The muzzle end of the barrel was in bad knick so ive shortened it to 20 inch and need to recrown it, i want to find a nice stock set and build a scout style / walk around rifle out of it. Its a nice little project, but one of many so no rush lol
