Skeet, I have to check my "brass bunker" to see how much brass for the .225 I have squirreled away. You wouldn't happen to have a set of reloading dies for that caliber?
Either RCBS or Redding? larryjk@tribcsp.com
I am also reconsidering the Ruger No.3. I have a lot of bolt actions I transferred to myself years ago and may use one of those.

Larry,

I guess I'm like you. I have stuff squirreled away everywhere. The 225 really does shoot good in a bolt gun. I had even forgotten that they made it in the 340. Most 340's I've had were pretty good shooters..well let's say shooters..they are NOT pretty. Rather than the #3 I'd do a bolt gun. Easier to get to shoot good. I may have a set of dies. Gotta look in the boxes with the dies. I must have 200 sets total and can't remember which 225 dies. I did have a set of Redding..but may have sold 'em. I found a set of 7x61 S&H for a friend the other day. He bought a nice rifle in that caliber. They are 150 bucks new now days. Getting my vault set up the way I want it anyway.. But it may not be big enough...at least to put all the reloading stuff on the shelves. I'm building a powder magazine out back of the house..Using an old root cellar that was on the farm when we came here. Putting a roof on it very soon. Just got a bunch of railroad ties for that. Trying to remember my load without going looking for that book. Got it rwritten down in my note books. I may be wrong but think I used 4895

I have a switch barrel Martini Cadet in 357 Super Mag (Max) and 225 Win. They both work well. I did not write my 225 loads down but recall that I used the old accuracy load in the Lyman Manual for the start and it ran about .5 inches so I just stopped and used that load. As I recall, I got the dies from Lock Stock and Barrel, but they might be closed now. Their sites says store closed.
Graft & Sons has brass: http://www.grafs.com/metallic/648
And dies http://www.grafs.com/metallic/1913
Mid South also has dies

Best,
Ed
