[QUOTE="RMulhern, post: 929877, member: 999"] You need to do a LOT OF READING from a Sierra Reloading Manual and learn step by step. The 300 RUM! I literally hate that **** cartridge! Best **** cartridge in the world for inducing a good case of trigger jerk. In the hands of an experienced LR shooter who has a lot of reloading experience and trigger time....it can be made to shoot with the right components but normally this isn't in the range of 150 gr. projectiles; rather it will handle 190-220 gr. bullets better than the lighter bullets because of the rate of twist within the barrel. Run your ram all the way to the top of the stroke and screw the FL resize die down until the die touches the top of the shell holder and go 1/8th turn more downward with the die. Move the ram down and then back up and when at the top of the stroke there should be slight pressure required to bottom out the press handle; tighten the lock ring on the die. This will give you a fully resized case. Rifle bullets DO NOT NEED a crimp in a bolt action rifle! To set up your seating die.....screw your seating die into the press and put a resized case into the shell holder and run the ram to top of it's stroke. Screw your seating die downward until it just touches the mouth of the case and lock down. There is a seating stem on top of the die so back it out a bit by screwing it upward. Take an uncharged case and insert a bullet into the case mouth and use the adjustment stem to set your required cartridge overall length which will be found in a reloading manual! Meanwhile....get off your cell phone and buy you a Sierra Reloading Manual and pay attention to the info inside!! [/QUOTE]
