[QUOTE="Shortywy, post: 1804138, member: 110291"] I have been using a set of RCBS reloading die’s that came with my old Sears and Roebuck Ted Williams 30-06 I have used them for years. After cleaning FL sizing and case prep I would seat the bullet then run the bullet adjustment out to use the role crimp in the die. I couldn’t get the accuracy or consistent muzzle velocity of factory Ammo. It really likes Remington 180 gr. Corelock, 5 shot group at 100yrds looks like a clover. In my research for better accuracy rather than buying some of the more expensive dies for a hunting rifle I learned about the Lee factory crimp die, so I tried it. Excellent results! Wanted to use 165 gr. Sierra game kings. Muzzle velocity is very close 10 FPS round to round, and consistent. Sub MOA at100 yrds, so I tried it out to 500 yrds around 4” shot group. Not a precision rifle, more a family heirloom that brings back memories and puts meat on the table. I now have factory crimp die’s for everything. Works so much better for the old Winchester 30-30.
