Re: 308 Sierra 135 SMK, anyone load em Thought of using these also. I had purchased some hornady 130 game bullets with the flat base a while back and decided to try them recently. I used varget and the results were amazing! Should make for a good 300-400 yard bullet. Still want to try the SMK...

Re: Reloading manuals I'd go with a Sierra and Lyman if buying new. If you want a Speer manual I'd reccommend #11.

Re: Variable runout - help!! I have an RCBS Case Master Gauge and had to modify it. It does not work properly from the factory. You will have to make sure the case rides on the web of the case instead of right above the web where there is a small bulge in fired brass. Also make sure the rim...

Re: Seating into the Lands? I've good luck with 0.05 off the lands. Have had no need to get up in the lands. I've been using Hornady A Max, Hornady spire point, and Sierra matchkings. Nothing but excellent results when you find that perfect powder charge.

Re: Primer Age? Green labels are from the sixties to mid/late seventies. The red labels are from the eighties. That's about as far as I can help you. If you are unsure if they are good you can test them. Just prime up a case without powder and bullet of course, and test it. You will see a...

Re: Match primers?? I haven't had any noticable difference between the match and standard, so I use stanard. Works very well for me.
