[QUOTE="Guest, post: 73455"] OK there are A LOT of methods , therories and routines many of us go through..... you will be hard pressed to shoot past 500 with consistency using factory loads... you should and will need to learn how to handload. here's what I do... I buy the RCBS basic dies... I then buy a Forester Ultra seater... for the same caliber... I FL size a new case clean up the neck debur and champfer the inside and outside of the primer pocket and uniform it trim to length, and champfer the neck mouth then FL resize and I am done... I typically sort through the cases and only throw out the really bad ones... I have a Pact Digital scale and dispencer and weigh every load to within a .10 gr When I seat my bullets I measure everyone to the OGIVE to make sure they are all within .005 of each other... I use the Stoney Point Gauges I do not own any wildcats... I shoot the 308 to 800 yards I shoot my 300WM to 1200 yards I had a 300WSM I shot to 1150 yards to become a good LR shooter you don't need the latest greatest super duper wildcat.... once you get good you can play around with wildcats but there is no need... most of the wildcat stuff is really to shoot flatter .. ie: more speed flatter trajectory... hell I don't care if I shoot rainbows as long as I can carry sufficient energy to my target with the accuracy I demand from myself my confidence is not in my having the latest greatest wildcat caliber. My confidence is in my rifle ( the smith at LSR who built it) and my ability to shoot my rifle at my self limited ranges. in the end your goal is to place your shot accuratly... if you read through this board the end result is because of shot placement not caliber... just my .02 [/QUOTE]
