    Lee Loader and Cruise Missile

    First. I am very greatful for the advice I got about the buying a Swedish M96 38 that I was offered. I made the owner an offer of 325 Au and we settled on 350. So the paperwork has begun and in a few weeks I will have my Swede. I have been reading all I can on this rifle and on handloading for it. I have always used Lee Loaders for my reloading both cast and jacketed bullets. So on to the question of the moment Has anyone here loaded the Lee Cruise Missile cast bullet with a lee loader for this rifle. I ask because it is far cheaper to buy reloading equipment in the USA and ship it to Australia than to buy it here. So if the Long Heavy cruise missile can be loaded with a Lee Loader I can order the mold and loader at the same time to save postage and paper work.
    Thanks for reading. Mick

    Yes, it works fine provided the case mouth is expanded slightly so you don't shave the boolit.

    A heavy long cast bullet made with Lee molds. I do not know who came up with the nick name. It gets some very heated debate when speeds reach in excess of 1700fps. But I intend to keep it sub sonic or just above.
