[QUOTE="DZelenka, post: 475115, member: 20543"] For brass, once fired Lake City is great, especially for 200 and 300. I used it for years at all yard lines but have recently switched to Lapua at 600 because the price was right and it helped me keep my brass segregated. As Kevin said, SB dies are not necessary. I am currently using Forster for sizing and both Forster and Redding micrometer seating dies (one in my Dillon for short line and the other in a Rockchucker for 600. Save yourself the trouble and stay away from the 90s. I shot 90 JLKs for several years (at least 4, maybe 5). To do so, you need a 1:6.5" barrel, a Holliger chamber (Wylde with a longer throat), and moly bullets. I used lots of N540, but I understand N550 is pretty good too. I was able to break 2700 with the bullets out of a service rifle. It held the wind great (.580 BC), but there were unexplained off call shots in nearly every match. When I changed back to Sierra 80s and RL15 for 600, I started getting leg points and went Distinguished in short order. I now shoot 82 gr Bergers over 24.1 gr RL15 for 600. This load in my rifle holds excellent elevation (when my eyes cooperate). [/QUOTE]
