You came to MY thread where I asked for some help and you have not given one single bit of information. if you are just going to run around the forum and put people down, do us all a favor and just git rid of your...

    Need some help reloading .308

    Thank you very much to all the helpful people on here (especially tomme and farmer). I did what you guys recommended (put the die down until it touches, then another half turn) and ran my 7.62x51 brass in it. Somehow, it worked. Thank you guys for being kind and patient with helping me...

    Need some help reloading .308

    Excuse me, sir. There is absolutely no reason for you to have that kind of attitude with me. I have been as kind and grateful as I can be for all the information you guys have given me. I am taking it very seriously. I do not know how you are assuming I am not acting as "smart as I think I am."...

    Need some help reloading .308

    Tomme, I am saying that I can lower the die so much that the arm only goes half way up. I know how to use them correctly but I am saying that with the arm only going half way up, I know that the die is going down as far as it can. I am using Lee Resizing Lube (a white paste) that came with the...

    Need some help reloading .308

    Pinecone, I said that my .308 brass works in the die. I have a couple of those loaded up already. It is just the 7.62 brass so I am going to sell it and get commercial .308 brass. No1, thanks for the offer. I looked around and read some more and I think I am going to set up 3-4 cartridges with...

    Need some help reloading .308

    I can screw the die down so that when I press the case all the way up as far as it can go, the press' arm is only half way up. This surely is making the die go all the way until it touches the shellholder. It must be that the shellholder/die is too thick to allow the die to set the shoulder back...

    Need some help reloading .308

    Thanks for all the help guys. It seems as though the Lee dies are fine and the 7.62x51 brass is just not usable with what I have. I am just going to sell it and get some .308 commercial brass as this will be the cheapest route. No point in buying loads of equipment for just 100 brass. But my...

    Need some help reloading .308

    Yeah. I took the .308 brass from today and ran it through the sizer. I loaded a few up and they work fine in my rifle. I see no point in buying a reloading manual because I can get all of the information online (Hodgdon and most other brands will have loads online or will tell you some loads if...

    Need some help reloading .308

    When I hold up one of these 7.62x51 brass by a .308 brass, the only noticeable difference I can see is in the neck area. The angles looks different

    Need some help reloading .308

    How can I move the die down further if it is touching the shellholder?

    Need some help reloading .308

    I do not have a case gauge. I have a micrometer and a caliper that I use to do my measuring. I am confused about the full length sizer because there is no way to adjust it. The only adjustment that can be made (to my knowledge) is to move the decapper in and out.

    Need some help reloading .308

    Also, another question. When loading for the pistols, I would work up a load to make the semi-auto pistol cycle reliably. How do I work up a load for my .308? Obviously, using .308 brass which I have, but do I work up until it shows signs of overpressure and then come back down a little? Will...

    Need some help reloading .308

    Hello everyone. This is my first post on here. I have been lurking around and there is some really cool stuff on here (most far out of my budget lol). Anyway... A little bit ago, with all the scarcity of ammo, I decided to get into reloading. I started with some easy stuff, .40 S&W and 9mm for...
