[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 719309, member: 25383"] the single thing tolearn about reloading is to learn to be very consistent with your loads. Everybody has their own methods just like I do. Avoid neck sizing as that's not gonna help you much, and try to keep it simple. I would recommend you buy the Hornaday lock & load gauge set with a .243 modified case. With this you can learn a lot about your chamber, and also get your seating depths down to what your rifle likes best. I'd also recommend you weigh each charge individually for starters (better off with 4350 anyway). CCI primers are pretty good, but I'm a real Federal fan. Before I forget about it, buy a tin of Imperial Die Sizing Wax, and forget about all the sprays and other case lubes. Just get a tiny little bit on your finger tips and spread it around the shoulder neck areas. If you don't think you have enough, you probably have too much! gary [/QUOTE]
