Thanks for the heads up on the brass. I'll be doing some shopping tonight online!

westcliff - I have not confirmed, I broke my pin and the primer didn't budge. What you're saying makes sense. Alaska - I measured every load with my Lee scale before it went into the case. I agree, when working something up I like the verification of the scale. I may just hang onto...

Well I had some spare time today and went out and bought the Lee Perfect Powder Measure. I couldn't justify spending 3 times the money on what is basically the same thing before spending 10+ times the money on an electronic one. All the reading I've done says that with what powder I'm using it...

Not that it matters, but it may, I am using this for a hunting rig so I'm not looking for match only bullets. SGK's are on my list though. Thanks again all!

I have no chrono but there are no signs of pressure at the primer or neck. Off a bag my SBH is around 5 MOA but that's probably my flinch, not the gun. The R92 hasn't had a ton through it, but I had a 3 round group all but touching at 50 yards.

You're on it! Thanks again!

I should have mentioned I am using a turret press. :) Thanks for the heads up though!

Thanks for the replies fellas. What are you guys using for a powder measure that would thread into my rifle charging die? The rifle is just a non-accutrigger Savage model 11 with a synthetic stock. I bought it as a cheap package rifle to throw in the truck and take hunting. Being in Iowa...

I will be looking forward to what you use instead. I'm sure this won't be my last action I bed. Thank you!

+1 My hunting load is a 325gr Rimrock bullet over 24gr of H110. I run this through my SBH Hunter and my Rossi R92.

I reload for several handgun calibers but no other rifle until now. Well I got the rifle bedded and got my 1st run of .308 done. I need to purchase a new powder measure tool as my Lee double disc kit will only throw 43gr of Varget. I want to load up to 46gr in .5 increments but I'm maxed out...

Tape the barrel to float it? - Yes Tape the tang? - When I tapped the action in to hold it I did it in such a way where the tang was raised, I'm sure there are other options and better ways to do it. How much material used? I mixed up a more than I needed, put it on the areas I was bedding...

I did it because I thought it wouldn't hurt. It seems there are a lot of people that argue both ways, it's moot for me now because it's a done deal.

*float the tang*

Well it came out with a little elbow grease and all that's left is to clean 'er up, get the scope remounted, and get some hand loads dialed in! BTW I did flat the tang just a touch after some more reading. Not sure if it matters or not, but, I did it.
