Oh cripes, they suggest a MUCH stronger press! I thought it might be easier! Still thinking about it, though. I'm all out of my third bag of 2500 7.62X54R 150 grain bullets I got from Wideners for $152 a bag shipping included. Now that they no longer sell them, the cheapest replacements I found was $125 per 1000 and does NOT include shipping....and they are pulled TRACER rounds. My range don't want no tracers.
