More Relic Reloading

Again this is just so cool!

I really dig the paper patches. Also I wonder what lube he uses for his cases. I first started reloading for a .257 Roberts with an AMAZINGLY tight chamber. You could practically re-size the brass with the weight of the reloading lever, I used lube for the first few, then tried it without and shelved the lube bottle. Then I reloaded some brass cases I’d shot through my Hungarian M44 Carbine…..I had to take the die apart and hammer the case out with a dowel.

Lube was not optional when using a military rifle designed to eat dirty and corroded cartridges. I suspect even might light One-shot lube might be too thin for this brute-force resizing of a .45-70
