Re: Reloading Bench Question - Engineering
I cringe at the word "engineering "
I used to work with a very talented fabricator who said often
" if you want to build it, build it. If you want to @&$k it up, engineer it"
More often than not he was right

More or less the same story , buddy went bear hunting with a Win 94 in 375. I had to have one of those also

We put golf balls out 200 yards or so and shoot them with varmint rifles

Winchester help
I just picked up a Winchester 1892 in 218 Bee
The rifle is a shooter, not a collector.
The S/N seems to be in the early 1900's and I believe the 218 Bee came about later, 1930's or so. The barrel is a Winchester Model 65 barrel
Was this a popular conversion at one time?

Re: BLR from 1970
The less you work brass the better.
If your BLR needs small base dies then so be it but if it does not you are needlessly working your brass excessively.
My Belgium made BLR in 308 works great with reloads using normal dies
