    284 hunting loads?

    I’m planning to use Redding competition bushing dies to load ammo with (ordered them yesterday). I usually use a bushing .002 under loaded cartridge dimensions. Do I need to go tighter or use a crimp die due to recoil? I believe this rifle will recoil harder than any other rifle I’ve used...

    My stock is ordered at Manners. I “hope” to order a Defiance Rebel action next month and I’m still undecided on caliber. Torn between 284 win or 7 saum. It wouldn’t matter if they both had same bolt face diameter (if they were the same I could decide later). Wanting to have enough horsepower...
