    Reloading: Where to start and what to buy

    I've been reloading pistol for 20 years using a Dillon 650 because volume is required. Loading rifle for also as many years, I use a Redding turret press which has enough room to load 3 calibers. You need a basic 2 die set to start, I have RCBS and Redding dies. I like the RCBS bench priming...

    Primer thing?

    Did you clean the primer pockets with a primer pocket uniformer? It should not take a lot of effort to seat primers. Primer diameters haven't changed. Not likely with Hornady, but by any chance were the original primers crimped?

    Rifle Scopes What magnification for F class mid range club shoot? 600 yards

    I'm an occasional F-Class shooter (Sharpshooter class). I use a Leupold 6.5-20 and frequently run it at 16 because of mirage. 29 should be plenty.

    Rifle Scopes Athlon Riflescope Warranty Service

    I've never owned a FFP, MIL Reticle , and Side Focus scope and tried an Athlon Argos BTR 6-24 x 50 knowing it was low end but seemed to have a lot of features for the $$. The Parallax Side Focus failed on its 2nd outing. I called the toll free number and explained the problem and it seemed...

    Grayboe Renegade, a review and start of a long term test.

    I recently restocked my Remington LTR with a Grayboe Renegade. I bought the BDL version but used my old style H-S Precision DBM bottom metal. Light filing required to fit it and had to shorten the front action bolt .050". Shot two 5/16" 3 shot groups during sight in.

    What caliber...

    An AR type rifle designed to shoot .308 is generally heavier and much more expensive than one designed to shoot .223 and likely over your budget. An AR-15 shooting mag length cartridges is going to be a struggle over 600 yards. I'd recommend a .308 bolt gun.

    Intial load work up, .223 - 69gn HPBT - Pressure Signs?

    Those primers look O.K. to me. I full length size 223 for an AR to just about max on a standard gage. I helped a friend set up his Dillon yesterday and we were trying to duplicate a Federal load that uses the Sie 69 HPBT and claims 2950 fps. Out trial load was 25.0 CFE @ 2.250" but it hasn't...
