I have two boxes of 165 grain, one 180 grain and one box of 150 grain. They are $60 per box plus shipping if you take them all.

I will jump in because I have not seen this yet, but I use an OLD Lyman. It is probably 35 years old. It is not a speed demon but it does a good job.

Your number one bullet is fine for elk. I saw where you like over thinking things. I do not hunt elk with a rifle generally. I prefer bowhunting them they are giant turkeys lol. However, my best friend has killed 36 bulls give or take one or two with a 7MM Mag. He has always used the Barnes 160...
I bought a VLD stem and for the 338 RUM it was not a bit better. If polished the stem and if I go really slow it works a lot better.
I do not have a drop tube good suggestion. Thx.

I am bumping this up because I figured out what the problem was, and it may help someone in the future. I was loading Barnes LRX bullets. I am loading a compressed load, slightly but still compressed. I had a few bullets really stick in the stem. Called Redding, they said the competition seating...
Someone in New Jersey will likely drive to pick it up. No comment as to price, but what is really sad is that people can’t get powder. Good luck to seller and future buyer.

A friend started my reloading adventure when I was 15 or 16. He was about 15 year older than I, and to this day is the only person with whom I have shot a rifle. I only reloaded and shot for myself and for hunting. 99.9 percent of the time it has been me, myself and I when shooting. So I really...
My best estimate is that the expander mandrel is the best approach for some of the reasons noted above.
I use a Wilson expander die and if my recollection is those are about .003 smaller than the caliber sized.

And for what it is worth, been fun to read your threads and see what the trends are today. Reloading preferences change a bit from decade to decade. But then again so did my wallet. 40 years ago I could have never afforded a competition seater.

Reloaded a ton for 20 years, didn’t do much for 15 or so, then had 5 years of a little more reloading. This year I have been at it full force more than ever. Maybe just getting to be one of those old farts who avoids people and sits at his reloading bench every evening. Ha Ha. Now the question...
I normally load with the Redding Type S Bushing Full Length and Competition Seating Die. However, I picked up a 7MM Rem Mag rifle that came with the Redding Premium Deluxe 3 die set.
It includes:
The Competition Seating die;
Full Length resizing die with carbide expander; and
Neck sizing die...
Lots of good information here, but watching this from a far it is like watching the tower talk a passenger down as he lands a 737 after both pilots pass out.

There is a post that is similar to this and someone said a sponge I think for drying the inside of a tent off from condensation I think. Most unique thing I had heard of.

Several of you have been helpful getting me ready for a brown bear archery hunt in two months. Thanks to all. Even though I have been on that hunt in the past and many others, it is amazing how much you can still learn from this forum.
So here is my question: All in all if unsuccessful, I...
