[QUOTE="Recon$$, post: 517287, member: 34122"] I just purchased a lyman kit and will have the dies and rest of the stuff I need to get started in the mail next week. I'll be going on a mule deer hunt this fall in SD with my father. I shoot a .308 and my dad shoots a 300 win mag. I've been doing some reading and obviously my reloading manual has the load data I need. I was looking for some more detailed opinions on where I should start developing the loads. Im jumping right into it and will start working up our hunting loads while I learn to reload. Specifically i'm looking for advice on powder and what bullets and whatever other advice you guys have for hunting loads for shots out to 600 yards. My 308 is a heavy 20" barrel savage 1:10 twist - I wanna shoot 168's I believe. 300 win mag 26 inch barrel - not sure on the twist, I know it likes 180's. My dad thinks he wants to shoot 168's but i'm thinking 180's would be better in a 300. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks [/QUOTE]
