You're too kind! Thank you gents!

Nef, quick question, is a 1943 "sniper" Mosin Nagant more valuable than a plain jane? I've been told by about $50 more. (I guess one way to tell is to open the bolt, look on the left side of the receiver and look for two black plugs?)

Was it a field mod or factory? I have a 1922 mosin. Hex barrel, short barrel length, blade sight vs ring and pin, sniper bolt vs standard. No idea how a sniper would use it...chrome smooth barrel. I can throw it down range with more accuracy. But it's pretty and fun to shoot.

It was my best looking WWII gun until I picked up my 1916 enfield .303.

Couple more, first one is a .25ACP bullet next to a 50 caliber. I think I know which one is a better bullet. LOL!

Hey Rip I'm thinking about getting into reloading for my 300 Blackout. Ammo over here is expensive and sometimes hard to find.

Mostly I want to load subsonics. Not hordes of ammo.

I've been looking at a Lee Classic Turret Press Kit, are these OK or seen as junk?

Lee makes a good turret press. So does RCBS and Hornady. I don't use their press but I have some Lee dies and they work great!
