    This is my first attempt at loading to a semi auto. I have a lee factory crimp die. How do I know if I am crimping the correct amount? How much does the crimp effect accuracy?

    What to do when the load your rifle loves sucks?

    Re: What to do when the load your rifle loves sucks? There are a lot of powders that work in a 308. Try varget, 4895, 748? I am sure there are many others here who can recommend other powders.

    Rem 504T
