I'm new to .308 and 7.62, but not new to reloading. I've always had the approach of quantity over quality as we were shooting LOTS of rounds per month of both pistol and carbines with a max distance of about 150yds. Well about a year ago I decided that I wanted to add an AR-10 to the mix and start reloading for that. Now I'm yet to get the AR-10 (long story but I had to convince the wife that I had REALLY laid off the Copenhagen this time, and I could get one as my present so I still have a few months to go), but I'm probably going to be getting the LMT MWS .308 with the 16" barrel. So I plan to be shooting out to 800 and a little beyond, with the majority of the work around 100-300 yds. So I dont need ammo that has been blessed by elve's.
I've been able to pick up about 1k rounds of once used 7.62 off my military base and plan to use that to get started. I can only assume it was used out of an M-60. I have about 4k CCI #34 primers. I do all of my reloading on a dillon 650 XL and a square deal. I actually gave away my RCBS about a year ago cause I never thought I would use it again. I have a Giraud case trimmer that I need to get set up for .308 and a dillon super swage.
So my question is this. With the above equipment and brass, can I get expect good quality ammo that will get me out to 800, maybe 1000 in an AR-10 platform. Or, do I need to go get the single stage press, some nice brass and different primers to achieve that goal. If I were to get the single stage press I was leaning towards the RCBS again. Thanks in advance
