[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1534941, member: 12995"] Take a deep breath... I had to teach myself everything I know, as well. Nobody in my family and none of my friends reload. I'm the lonewolf/blacksheep of the family. I've made my share of newbie mistakes. If I ever come-off as being abrupt it's not on purpose, it's to help someone from making the mistakes I made when I first started out...Which were plenty. Don't worry about all that belted crap. Those people either don't know what they're talking about, or are just bias towards belted cases because they didn't know how to properly setup their dies. For the Weatherby (or any/all bolt-action rifle cartridges), I recommend neck-sizing your brass. Then when you get bolt resistance when closing the bolt, FL resize them once. Then go back to neck-sizing until you get resistance again. Somewhere in that mix, your brass should be worn-out and need replacing with new fresh brass. Redding sells 3-die "Deluxe" sets that include the FL sizing, neck sizing, and seating dies. You will still need to get a #6 shell holder for it. For the AR's, I recommend the RCBS AR-series "SB" (small-base) full-length sizing dies. I use them for 5.56, .300 BLK, and 6.5 Grendel (.264 LBC). For the AR cartridges, I recommend a good set of case gauges, like the LE Wilson gauges. [/QUOTE]
