The book says to NOT use Federal primers.

Picked up the Lee Reloading manual today and noticed that they don't list which primer to use with specific calibers. Is that right or am I overlooking something?

I don't have the equipment to cast buets. Who has the best cast bullets for the $$?

I'm plan to buy a die set to reload for this rifle. Which die set do you recommend?

We had a good bear race today but it got across the state line and a paved highway. Here's the last sign of the one that got away...water tracks where he crossed a Creek.154762

What are the best big game scales you've used?

Yes sir, its a lot of fun. Sometimes dogs trailing will end up on separate bears. Baiting is illegal in Tennessee.

I'm moved up to 20gr and crimmped with the regular seating die.

Thanks for the encouraging words.

I experimented more with the FCD and it was shaving brass around the case mouth so I'm scraping the use of it. I dinked around with the seating die and I think I've figured out how to get it right...
