[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 941669, member: 12995"] I had one built back in Feb and so far (other than the $119 set of dies), has been great. Smooth shooting. To form the brass you will want to find out your OAL from the base of the case to the ogive of the bullet. Your smith can do it, if you don't have a COAL gauge. Load a light load (I use 50gr of Reloder 19 under a Nosler 168 Custom Comp) seated to the lands (press fit). Load about 50 of them and then go to the range. Then shoot them. Then bring them home, clean them, and start load development. Also, Nosler has .30-06 AI load data on their website, that is available for you to print off. Of what they list, Alliant Reloder 22 gets the best velocoty in their tests, if you can find some of that. I'm using IMR 7828 SSC and Berger 185 VLD's. Should be getting well over 3,000 fps. However, I don't recommend playing with powders that slow at those velocities without starting really low and working up to your pressure signs. [/QUOTE]
