[QUOTE="fmajor, post: 710561, member: 20646"] I learned to reload from a fella who had reloaded for decades and reloading was a part of his gunsmithing business. He had me order the RCBS micrometer bullet seating die for .284 and i bought a second bullet sleeve for .308. With these two sleeves i was able to reload for my 7mm RM and my 300 Win. For sizing/case prep, we usually only neck-sized (using RCBS dies), but i did have the full-length re-sizer dies when full-length sizing was necessary. However, with the full-length re-sizer die he machined the expander ball down so it wouldn't contact the brass. With reloads from this set-up, my 300 Win, which was a blue-printed Rem 700 w/ Douglas barrel, was a consistent sub-quarter-MOA shooter. I'll not buy another Douglas barrel b/c of huge amounts of fouling, but that's another thread topic. [/QUOTE]
