Hi, I just traded for my first "custom rifle".
http://www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=7&f=137&t=823945

Its in a caliber that I have ZERO personal experience with and seems to be a handload only deal since factory ammo is so limited. SO, I get to learn how to reload rifle ammo too! Im going through the posts here (great stuff BTW), I'll be getting a single stage press next week and the rifle came with a set of RCBS Gold Medal dies with neck bushings (another new to me thing).

Ive loaded lots of pistol ammo on a turret press, so I know the basics, any clues specific to this caliber? I'll be starting with the recipie and components that the org. owner used, and I have 30 or so rounds of his ammo to use as an example.

Thanks! -chad
