Savage 10FP LE2b Not bad for $844 out the door. Chris

The primer looks perfectly normal to me, but I can't account for the other markings, but to ask if Hornady brass in that cartridge, is a bit softer? Chris

Sinclair LR/SR pocket uniformers, with Hornady reamers, should get any issues squared away (pun intended.) Chris

At one point in January of '06, I had every die for the .338 LM and then settled on the Redding body die, FL S resizer, Neck S die and the Forster Comp seater. I'm just a hack, but I've shot/loaded the .338LM for many years and this stuff just works for me. Chris

I generally body size and then use an appropriate neck bushing. I realize that some don't ascribe to this method, but that's what I do, however I'm just a hack. Chris

For $100, or less and American made, get a used SF 6P off of Ebay and then try and source a P60 drop-in LED module. I bought a Redilast (USA) 3 mode, 1.5A, 500L module ($45) and installed that. Twist the tail cap and you advance through each of the three modes. Chris

My PACT Model 1 had served me well for 20 years, until recently. I can send it in with a check for $15 and they'll send me a new one, but I'm not shooting much over these past 7 years. Chris

I'm in Miami and there aren't any. I've gone up to West Palm Beach, at the Sherriff's range where they have 300 yards open maybe 6 times in a year. If you have a car and you're set on 1000 yards, go over to the west coast and shoot at Manatee, which is 209 miles from my home and south of...

It looks quite nice and I hope that she enjoys it and gives you a hug. Chris

Dillon 550c. With your cartridge choices, you don't seem to be cranking out massive amounts for any cartridge? A Lee cast iron press might be another option for less cash, but it's only a single stage. How much that you will be reloading, is the issue. Chris

You have proper powders and GMM primers, so in my opinion, I’d just go with the latter and the 168s and just see what you see. Reloading is an inherently ‘learning process.’ Chris

Get your powders and primers in order, get a couple manuals and just load up 15-20 rounds of each charge rate and then go shoot them for groups and fine tune things. Remember to change only one variable at a time and use similar brass with the same headstamp. If you're not testing at 800-1000...
