I have to second the 14gr of Trail Boss. I use it with both the lee 457-340-F and 300gr jacketed bullets and it is a real treat to shoot and more accurate than I am.

I load all of my own .223 (a ton) I can also use this powder for 30WCF, 7.62x39, and supersonic loads of 300 whisper. I have also had some acceptable results using this in 8mm Mauser.

I just looked at a set of 30-06 dies I picked up off ebay for $6 plus shipping. New and un-used in a perfect cardboard box. Glad you posted that tip about the date. These have 68 on them. There is...

Great! I think this may turn a poor shooting Mosin Nagant I have into a shooter. The .311 slugs are just too small for it.

Buckshot,
Are you pushing those .323 bullets through the .314 Lee sizes with the 32 Cal. gas checks on? Thats exactly what I was going to try this week. I just didn't know if the gas check would...
