so i do have two load books one is nosler one is .308 rd specific and the kit comes with a hornady load book ,, but any starter loads would be great so post away ,,

not a bench shooter per say but more looking to load for bulk ,, shoot what i can and seal the rest in dry boxes ,, build a little stock pile ,

any info would be great and please let me know if the set up i bought is good enough to start

will be getting a cam-lock case trimmer and a Hornady Lock-N-Load Ammunition Concentricity Gage a bit later ,

so fire a way so to speak , rifle is a rem 700 sps tactical 20" 1-12 bedded B&C A3 medilest stock if that helps with load data
 
Re: new to realoading !

Make sure you start out with min loads from your book and work up in .5 grain increments, if you don't know what pressure signs are do some searching on the forum and you will be able to find them. Keep reading on this site and search for questions you run into. Just start shooting and be safe...
