[QUOTE="cserwin, post: 665029, member: 49110"] Korhil, I appreciate your advice, and willingness to help. I have pretty much made my investment, some of which I'm sure I will be replacing very soon, as with the case trimmer. Apparently you get what you pay for. And I will be looking for precision accuracy. As I get into it I will be picking up more advanced equipment. I've not actually loaded a round yet, but will soon. Right now waiting on that Wilson micrometer trimmer, with case holders for 300 RUM, and 7mm-08, which I'll also be loading for. Ordered today. I also got a Hornady Lock & Load OAL gauge. Is that worth the cost? Sinclair XL body with bump gauge inserts. I've been doing a lot of reading. Have manuals from Lyman, Speer, Barnes, Nosler, and Hornady. Will continue to read over and over. I've kept all of my RUM brass from factory ammo purchase. Approximately 700 rounds. I have cleaned all the brass, mostly Remington, and about 100 Barnes. What I am seeing is some case neck splits with the Remington brass. Not a lot, but enough to have me questioning the Rem brass after 1 firing of factory loads. Could this be caused by the factory crimp. The Barnes appears to be in good shape, but has the same type of crimp. Also have purchased some new Nosler brass. I shoot this gun quite a bit, and was seeing a drop in accuracy, and consistency. Anyway the gun is being built by a custom gun builder in North Carolina, and I expect it back within the next few weeks. Looking forward to it, and as I begin actually loading ammo, I'm sure I'll have more questions. For now I'm waiting on trimmer, and gun back from builder. I could start with that 7mm-08, but still need trimmer, as I have new Rem. brass for it, and will need to do some case trimming. For now I am still in the info gathering, and learning phase. Stay tuned, more to come. I appreciate the advice. Chris [/QUOTE]
