[QUOTE="bast0573, post: 926614, member: 77506"] Well, I've seen quite a few assholes on here, but when I find someone good, they're usually awesome! They go out of their way to help. One guy sent me his number and we've spent a few hours on the phone while he answered every one of my questions. I went to order redding dies, but they were out of stock. So I decided on rcbs fl dies since I bought a single stage rock chucker. I heard rcbs are excellent products, so hopefully I'll be ok. I haven't gotten anything in the mail yet. I'm waiting for everything to arrive and should be here by Tuesday. I'm really excited, but nervous at the same time. I've read 1 book so far and 3/4 of the way done with my second book. I'm still lost at what the give is though and what they're meaning by .005" off the lands and stuff like that. I know the measurements but not sure what they mean by lands and ogive. Lastly, I'm lost at when you know your powder amount is good. It says to start at the minimum and work up. But how do you know when its your perfect amount. Or how to tell the sweet spot for the ogive for your gun? I may be typing this wrong... hopefully you understand. Thanks for all the advice though! [/QUOTE]
