    Needing help W/ reloading.

    Re: Needing help W/ reloading. First thing you need to do is educate yourself in the process. There are several reloading manuals out there. I like the ABCs of Reloading. It is a great book with a lot of pictures and good descriptions. Keep doing research and learn as much as you can...

    best dies for consistancy

    Re: best dies for consistancy I like the Redding body die and the competition seatig die with the Lee collet neck sizing die. I get very consistent and concentric loads with these dies.

    Barnes TTSX

    Re: Barnes TTSX You should be fine. The Barnes bullets are much longer than your traditional lead core bullets due to the fact that lead is heavier than copper by density. I load the 168 gr. TTSX in my .308 win over 44.1 grs. of Varget in Lapua cases and CCI BR2 pimers and they are just...
