Boy, I’d like to the press for re-loading the 105mm... And where do you buy the projectiles? Or do you just cast them yourself?

A Harbor Freight arbor press works just fine.

Jim DeGroat cast the projos for his 90mm T8 Antitank gun himself. Old Babbit metal, scrap aluminum, whatever. Fitting the copper driving bands is a little tricky, but no worse4 than fitting piston rings. Big ones.

Jim's 90mm at play, Knob Creek,2006
