That's the joy of doing it Precision and consistency
Fucking shit. Need more primers and projectiles now. But the good thing. I have done 100!!!! Still got powder left but should get more anyway. Thanks for the help guys.
So have you worked up a load or just picked one at random?
Nah I got one from that adi chart link someone gave me on here and just used 56grs since it was roughly inbetween the max and min. With my first test loads they were all touching each other in the paper so cant see reason to change
You could practice making blanksQuote:

When I went to Napier today I picked up a few boxes of primers plus have more on the way so loaded the last 14 spare shells I had since some projectiles had turned up, 140's this time. 114 rounds so far, its extremely addicting.

Get a trickler, I use one on my lee scales and it makes it so much faster and easier, more accurate to i reckon, well worth the $30 or so.
Yeah I found a Hornady one for $25 and will probably get it one day.
10 shots touching at 100 is very good.... should post up some pics of groups. What cartridges are you reloading for?Quote:

Right here are the first test loads for the .300WinMag, more powder should be here tomorrow also the WSM dies should bloody be here.

That group is the first 3 reloads then the rest are just factory shots to get a average velocity to compare them with, also a few other hand loads shots there but from my brother but those first 3 were the main 3. hope my .300 loads do the same.

Oh thats only 50m btw, I will test at 100m properly next time I go out hopefully before I fuck off.Quote:

To put it in perspective even 2 lee kits for $400 and still be able to afford very good dies ($100?) or even the lee stand at $150 (any good?), or for $200 a ultra sound cleaner and still have some $s left ....kind of makes you wonder on the $600.
What are ppls fav dies? Specifically I'd want 308 and probably nothing else. I would spend more if that helps accuracy & life. I like to buy things that last and my son inherit (being morbid I guess).
