    I've been asking the same question, having tried a few different approaches in search of a good toolset. Even the Dillon trimmer, that is expensive and kind of a pain, has it's drawbacks.

    Dillon Powder Measure for Rifle loads

    I'm gearing up to load 308, again. Bass Pro had some RL15 and on hand, so I decided to see how the Dillon measure did with it. The results were much better than I expected so I was wondering if...

    Cleaning with dawn is quick and cheap. I don't smoke or use products like drop out anymore. I'm trying to get the max diameter out of my molds and it's easy to overdo it. It's really not needed,...

    Actually, everyone should have a snubnose, they come in a wide choice of weights from many manufacturers. I think a 38 special LCR with a 148 wadcutter or the old FBI load is tough to beat. Both...

    Sorry about my comment on item 2. I read it backwards I think. The bullet base doesn't melt, even with soft lead. It's the gas cutting and the deformation caused by the lands that cause the issue....

    A big benefit is the ability to shoot soft lead bullets, that expand well, out of rifles. The check prevents the soft lead from obturating or causing undue deformation and over pressure. The...

    You should be able to get 2 inch groups with the Lee 125 RF over 5.2 grains of HP38. You might have to load them long, say 1.590. The Rossi's that I owned liked a 140-145 grain magnum load with...

    I think the old guys know what works, and also what doesn't. For every item on the "works" list there are probably 10 on the "doesn't work" list.

    Exactly, the 35 caliber ammo that I see is in the neighborhood of .358. Anything starting w/.35 is 35 caliber isn't it? The post I responded to said it had to be bigger than 35 caliber.

    The small base dies are closer to the minimum specs, so semi-autos will cycle OK. Since you have a bolt gun they really don't come into play for you.

    I like the Lee rifle dies and the Dillon rapid trim just fine for 223/556, but I'm not a bench rest guru or long range expert. I load on progressive for an AR (so I crimp) and 99.5% of my shooting...
