    Shorter brass after firing and sizing?

    Shoot 'em again, and they'll be a'growing.

    Who makes good inexpensive plated pistol bullets?

    I run Berry's and Rainier plated...no complaints with either. You might want to try softer cast bullets (~12BHN) too. The 45acp isn't an 18bhn hard-cast round.

    Looking for advice on a long range hunting rig from the reloading perspective

    Ruger M77 30-06?

    The Ruger M77 is one of my favorites. A bit heavy, but very stout and reliable and I really like the looks of them in a nice wood stock too. One of the most (if not thee most) accurate out of the box sporting rifles I've ever shot was a 77 Mk2; a 25-06 that held groups around 3/8" at 100yds from...

    Deprimed fingers?

    Case Head Separation help

    It was a combination of excessive resizing and stout loads. I would personally cut my "losses" and start future loads with new brass with your new-found/better loading procedures and documentation. The first rule of resizing is to move only enough brass to ensure reliable function; slight...

    Reloading .308 with a Lee classic loader without a powder scale

    The lee chart shows the 3.1cc scoop of varget @ 42.4gr. Your loads may be mild, but I'd go ahead and use it. You can get a throw and a scale later when you're ready to load with some more oomph.

    748 for 223

    Because there's not always 748 data for a bullet, or at least not as often as 335 data is available. All a loader should need is a starting point.

    Zeroing with two different loads......

    Run the FMJs faster or the "varmint" bullets slower. See what happens.

    748 for 223

    I use a medium 335 load data to start with 748, and plan on going higher than the 335 max load.

    Acceptable case wall thickness variation after neck turning

    I'm afraid I'm going to have to go with: that's fine :D
