I've been reloading for .223 with Redding bushing dies for several years now and also have used mostly Lapua and Lake City brass.
But this is my first foray into .308 bolt gun (Rem 700 SPS Tac. AAC 20-inch) hand loading and the I am going to start with a Redding full-length sizer and competition seater set.
Question is: What are the best three bushing sizes to begin with? Most of the early brass will be what I fire from commercially loaded Nosler, Hornady and Winchester cartridges.
I measured the loaded rounds and got a wide range of results. Would starting with .333, .334 and .335 bushings suit my needs? Which size(s) would you start with?
Is there a specific thread addressing this issue?
Thanks for your patience.
