Kevinb71, The 30/06 isn't a bad gun to start with. It was a ww2 sniper round so it can't be bad. There is plenty of good 30 cal bullets out there. Save you money and buy the best optics you can afford. Leupold, Nikon, Nightforce, US optics are just a few of good quality glass. Take...

I see I'm at the point where I need to learn to anneal the my cases. I can dip them in lead as was suggested but for how long. What other techniques are used? I have plenty of tourches at work that I can use. Please list in detail what your process is. Thanks for all the responses

How do you when it is time to anneal the necks? I am shooting a 308 and 300 RUM and have noticed that the amount of effort that it takes to resize them using a Redding bushing die varies from case to case. I have checked for uniform neck thickness, which they are. I've also tried using the...

I have a Lee hand priming tool the directions say that not to use Federal primers they may explode. Can anyone agree or disagree with this

Thanks to all. I understand a little more on crowns and what they do or don't

oldfamily, 72 grains of IMR4350 with 215M primers. Have had good luck with them just don't aim for the shoulder. Only one the entrance hole to worry about.

meichele I haven't tried any different lengths yet. I am waiting for my Sinclair bullet comparator so I can sort my loads to the same length to elimate another variable.

D.S. The end of my barrel does have tool marks where it was turned. When I shoot 5 shot groups I consistently get 3 in a bug hole and 2 are out, but as you said it isn't that much $ to spend
