[QUOTE="Greg Page, post: 1662781, member: 106702"] I started reloading in my early teens, when my dad and I combined forces and bought a lightly used 700BDL in 7RM. Working after school at the local gun shop for $1.65/hr, I could not afford to feed that beast. So I invested $9.95 in a Lee Loader, and another $11-ish for a can of H4831, a box of primers, and 100 Sierra 140gr SPBT bullets. I lubed cases with mom’s crisco, and POUNDED those big belted cases into the FL resizer with a hammer. How I avoided blowing myself up is a mystery to this day. But I will say that 64gr of H4831 behind that 140gr Sierra is STILL my go to precision load, shooting around .5 MOA three shot groups in that beautiful old rifle. [/QUOTE]
