Benchmade without a doubt. Holds an edge the best of any. It is the steel!

Do not have details handy but H-1000 seems to be more consistent than H-4831. In other words, doesn't wander as much with my elderly shooting habits. Both have the ability to hit a 1" dot at 100 yards. Don't have any experience with the Hornady bullets yet which is why i was complaining as i...

h4831 works great with 160 AB'S. H-1000 even better but you can't get it. Same with the Nosler Bullets. Am switching to Hornady. Good luck on your development.

H4831 works fine for me too. H1000 seems to work the best for 160 AB but are hard to get so back to Hornady and H4831.

h-1000 best with 160 Accubonds until i could not get it. H-4831sc works too for me. Never tried the Allianz so have no comment on them.

Have had good luck with Nosler 160 and 168 Accubonds. H4831 sc and H1000 both work well with 280ai. Depends on what one can get these days. Good Luck.

use Redding standard dies with micrometer seating die. Works OK for me. Most variance is from my shooting technique rather than the loading process. 280 AI is a good choice however.

H-1000 when you can find it. Started with h-4831 sc and got good accuracy but Nosler AB and H-1000 seem to work the best for me. Presently searching for other powders as H-1000 non available.

used RCBS primer tool on the press plus hand helds but the best is their bench primer tool. Works every time and does not allow upside downs that will give you heart burn. Also good feel as the primer is inserted.

H 4831 sc works for me on 130 and 150's

280 AI is my choice but don't shoot 195's only 160-168's . Prefer this over my 7mm mag. a lot easier on my shoulder too.

Have both. Shoot 160 accubonds in both. 280ai a lot easier on the body. buy Nosler brass and fire form 280 rem. Nosler better brass. H-1000 works well for me in both as well.

started out with RCBS Package and it certainly gets one off to a good start. Electronic scales etc will come later and you will appreciate them. you might want to include neck sizer die although you can do with standard. good luck

agree with this thread. Do exactly this. Gave my tumbler away
