    Reloading feedback

    Re: Reloading feedback I like the Lee powder scoops and their primer-pocket cleaner. Stay well clear of the scale. If you do some SEARCHES on the forums, you'll find hundreds of threads on equipment and getting started. I don't see the kits as a smart way to buy. Forster and Redding...

    Redding Versa Paks available yet?

    Re: Redding Versa Paks available yet? Add up the prices on the major pieces. Then figure how each of them will figure into your planned reloading process. I don't see the need for at least one of them. Might not be such a great deal, and I'm a Redding fan.

    Beginners reloading list. Any suggestions?

    Re: Beginners reloading list. Any suggestions? If you don't currently have a Cheytac, take it out of your requirement spec's. It is contouring the recommendations to your detriment.

    Use 30-06 seating die for .308?

    Re: Use 30-06 seating die for .308? Victor, thanks for following up. As you mentioned, many (most?) don't crimp. With a standard die, the case body won't be held by the die when not crimping. Implies for me that a standard die with the crimping feature will do a substandard job of seating...

    Use 30-06 seating die for .308?

    Re: Use 30-06 seating die for .308? Which brings up a related issue: Dies That Crimp. What's the difference between a little slop and a lotta' slop? If you're seating w/o crimping, the die's loose anyway.
