I have a custom built 6mm I use for varmints and target shooting. I Found a bunch of brass in the back of my cabinet that I want to reload for test rounds. I'm gonna use the brass that is within .005 of each other. Should I fire form them before getting serious with my loading. I'm not sure...

After fire forming should I just neck size or fl resize again.

how important is case length? I have all my brass to within .005 of each other. I full length resized before trimming, cleaned primer pockets. After firing the bullets in my new savage 11 should I just neck size them. Is this correct. I've been shooting a long time, but the long range stuff...

I'm thinking about picking up a Savage model 11 heavy barrel in 308Win at my LGS. I work there and we just got in a used one that's in good shape. I work there part time and usually just trade my hours for guns and parts. Sweet deal for me. Any opinions on the rifle? I have a custom 6mm...

New to the forum. I look forward to picking all your brains.
