S1, I noticed in your last post that you said FL resize every time you reload a case. I have a .308 that I have only been neck sizing for. Most of my cases have been loaded 3-4 times each and I was planning to use them at least a few more times without FL resizing. Is there any risk to this...

S1, I looked up your recomendation on Midway. Is it the Berger Match 185 VLD Hollow Point? Also, any advice as to who would have the best prices on these as well as the 175 gr AMAX? Thanks for the info.

Thanks for the advice. I have had some great results with the 168's, but the 150 and 155's have been a bit disappointing. I'll try the 175 SMK's.

I just primed a small tray of once fired brass and then discovered I did not have enough tension on the necks to adequately retain the bullets. I want to salvage the brass and want to know the best, safest way to do this. Can I simply chamber the cases, fire the primers (just a primer in a case...

1. I am reloading 308 rounds for my FN SPR. I plan to start out with 44.0 gr of Varget (working up to the 47 gr in the manual), w/168 g SMK's and Fed 210M primers. The Hodgdon reloading manual specifically lists Winchester Brass. Is it possible that the substitution will have an adverse effect...
