I have good groups with 150 grainers using 49.0 grains of IMR 3031, 2900 fps. IMR 4350 works great too at 59.0 to 60.0 grains (full case) at 3000 fps.

Forrester and Hornady are great, too! Just make sure they can use the standard shell holders or you will shopping for press specific shell holders.

Don't get the Primos Truth Cam 46. It just dies after two seasons. Noisy when they take a picture. A friend bought one at the same time and they both died at about the same time. Piece of junk. Customer service told us they would not service them and would sell us a new one for the same price...

Check on e-bay, lots of good ones for nice prices. Stay with a RCBS, Lee cast or Lyman (orange).

Always had great results with IMR 4350 and 150 - 180 gr bullets. Recently tried Rx17 and it worked great with 180 grain Sierras! Couldn't do much with it with 150's, though.

Lee makes a great one! I have worn out one and the second is going strong, using one for 30 years...

Picked up primers at Academy Sporting goods! Some Walmart's are carrying some primers, powder and bullets!

I tried it with my Ruger m77 30-06 with marginal success with 150's, but with 180's I was getting 1/2" groups. It seems to work better with the heavier 180's using 54 grains of the Rl 17..
