    Lee Loadmaster, 303Brit shell plate needed.

    Hi All,

    Im trying to get one....failing...any ideas who'd be the best bet in NZ? outdoorsupplies have none and cant get any.....I think taeri said they have none....

    So offshore?

    Anyone have one they no longer want?

    If I had one I'd lend it to you until you could find one.

    Try these guys in no particular order but beware that Loadmaster parts out of the states will take a few weeks as the demand is still high.

    You need the shell plate #5L

    Thanks p38, taieri actually now had one in stock, ive bought it....



    but its not coming til tuesday.



    Ive been looking in the States, not much there.

    Reloaders dont seem to hold loadmaster bits now I think, but are happy enough to order.....

    I'd like a 7.62x54R which are no longer made, if you see one let me know pls....

    I'll keep an eye out.

    Do you know what shell plate number the 7.62x54r is?

    I'll have to go check I think its a 16L......its not listed any more so its obsolete or may have never been made.....need to find where I saw that number. I guess cause ex-mil ammo is so cheap in the US (10cents?) there is no demand.

    When I get my brit303 I might try and fit it on a cartridge and see if its possible to get one milled....a vertical mill and an indexer head should do it fine...

    ***edit
    Google says 16L...

    Join up and put a wanted add here on the Loadmaster Forum.

    If there's no demand in the US then someone may have one they are willing to sell.

    Cheers
