Begining with the .308
Posted: Sat Aug 14, 2010 5:48 pmHaving recently picked up my first .308 caliber weapon, I am off into the process of getting outfitted to run some fair quantaties of ammo.
I have ordered a set of Dillon Precison dies, along with a new toolhead, and powder check. I also have a new trimmer head for the Giraud on the way.
Picked up a 1000 once fired LC cases, as there seems to be a paucity of commercial cases available for reloading, so I might as well get a new set-up for my K&N neck turner, just in case I need to adjust neck wall thickness.
I am semi dreading the fist run through swaging out the crimps, but that is one time thing, and if the LC brass is as substantial in the .308 as it is in .223, it will be worth the effort.
