I use RCBS bushing dies (308, 7mm RM) to get the neck tension I want. Can vary this over four different sizes to really dial it in. Also suggest a micrometer based bullet seating die if you are looking to dial in your jump to the lands to optimize accuracy.Nice. There's nothing you can't Hunt with what you have, including out to 1000yd Targets. I have 308 in RCBS and Lee if your interested, I forgot to mention Lee earlier, all dies have pro/ con, I used Lee for a long time before I switched to Redding. They worked very well for me, but I got into building Wildcats, so I moved on to Bushing dies, bushing dies are not needed if you are not necking up / down.
Do you have a mentor close to you to help learn this stuff? If not I can try and help you with questions. But having someone to be with you is great help.
Hope this helps.
PM me if you have questions.![]()
Second the digital calipers with a set of comparators (base to neck and base to ogive) for each caliber you plan to reload.
I really like the Precision Hardcore Gear powder funnels. They fit really well to their intended case. I also like the RCBS Automatic Bench Priming Tool. Much easier than a handheld primer.
