[QUOTE="DartonJager, post: 1566237, member: 95733"] Couple of years ago I stumbled on a NIB savage 308 10FCP with a 5R barrel at a price so good I had to double check it had a barrel, it did so of course I bought it. Would finally like to start reloading for and shooting it but would like to keep my cost for dies at a reasonable level. I plan on using the rifle as a platform to teach myself medium long range shooting to save wear on my actual hunting rifles which are all magnums. Need a recommendation on dies to confirm what I am already thinking. Was considering getting a Forster bench rest bullet seating die, Forster FL sizing die and a Redding body only sizing die, same as I have for my other rifles. Am I choosing my dies wisely or should I consider other more economical options? Lastly I have more than enough different 165-180 grain .308 bullets from Sierra, Nosler, and Hornady and Federal LRG GMM primers. Of my suitable on hand powders which would be best to begin with I have: H4350 H4831 H4198 H335 IMR4350 IMR4831 IMR4895 IMR3031 RL15 RL10x RL7 Or as popular wisdom suggests ditch all the above powders and go with IMR4064 or Varget, neither of which I have on hand at the moment but can easily get OTC near my home.
