I was a member here a few years ago, but had to get out of the game for a little while. Just picked up a new savage 10 t-sr cabelas special in 6.5 creedmoor. Burris xtr ii 3-15x50 scope with the scr moa reticle. Blackhawk 20moa base, Burris xtr rings. Harris 6-9 bipod. I have an area 419...

Thank you for the help! I have some remington dri lube that I use on some things. Think that will work?

Has anyone had problems with rust on the outside of their dies? Mine are starting to get light surface rust on them. I have no problem cleaning them up, but does anyone have any tips to prevent it? I take care of my stuff, so this is driving me nuts.

I will probably use it some more after I test these loads I worked up. I think my biggest problem with it was not being able to apply enough pressure. I need to upgrade my bench to something heavier. If I really have to crank down on the handle of my press, it feels like the bench is going to...

Thanks for all the replies. I will jut full length size from now on. I will also be picking up a headspace gauge this weekend.

The lee ultimate die set. This one comes in the yellow case instead of red.

I'm new to reloading and today I started working up loads for my .308 using the 178 AMAX. My question is this, I neck sized 65 pieces of brass that has been once fired in my rifle. Upon starting to seat the bullet, over 50% of them, the bullet falls right into the brass. I took them and ran them...

I got the T model about two months ago. (Without the threaded barrel.) I put 40 rounds through it last week to sight/break in. My last 5 shot group was decent, but shooter has to get better. Now it's time to start working up hand loads. Going to start with the 178 AMAX

Awesome! Thank you so much for the help

Anyone from upstate? I'm looking tofind a range anywhere nearby and all I can find are some 100 yard ranges.

4064 is everywhere here as well. I've heard a lot of people say that it's a great powder, but the metering sucks. IMR is all I have been able to find as well. I really wanted to get some Varget, but seeing as how I can't find any I'm going to work up a load with the 4064 and see how it does with...

New Savage 10 owner - short throat blues? No, all I have been able to find so far is IMR powder. I have 4064 for my .308 and 4895 for my .22-250. I got a lead a few days ago of a place nearby that may have target or others besides IMR. I should have the funds next weekend to be able to pick...

By the way, I will be starting loading with IMR 4064 if tht makes a difference (can't find varget anywhere)

I too have the 10T that I bought a few weeks ago. I've been on six days a week at work so I have not been able to shoot it yet. I picked up some SSA 175 HPBT as well as FGMM 168. I tried today after reading this to chamber each round. The 175 did feel a little bit tighter when I closed the...

Savage 10T .308. Vortex HST 4x16 with weaver 6 hole tactical rings and Harris 6-9. Waiting to get some time away from work to break her in.
