    H1000 or substitute

    Depends on what you're loading, but rl33 and retumbo might be good alternatives. You will be hard pressed to find an "equivalent" Sent from my SM-G996U using Tapatalk

    Ladder tests?

    I'd just start your ladder test at something like 30 thou off. That should give you a reasonable chance of the bullet at least halfway liking the jump, get your load, then fine tune seating depth. Sent from my SM-G996U using Tapatalk

    Want to start reloading

    I loaded on a Lee press for a while, and shot 600 yard competition with them. It was even the turret press, and I did pretty well. After I changed to a "more solid" single stage and way fancier dies, I was chasing the groups and Chrono numbers of those loads. I'd go with the Lee kit. Sent from...

    Reduced Loads Questions

    The way I get reduced loads is by using a different powder that will get me more of a case fill than I'd get by just cutting the load down. I really don't like loads that can fit a double charge in the case. Yes, it should be spotted, but I like the added safety of physically not being able to...

    6mm ARC vs 6mm Creedmoor Shorty?

    I'm aware. That's just where I think a 6 arc would be the choice over a 6 Creed Sent from my SM-G996U using Tapatalk

    6mm ARC vs 6mm Creedmoor Shorty?

    Yeah the creed has the advantage, everything else being the same. I just don’t think you could fit a 6 creed in an ar15 platform. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    It can be a bit of both. I remember a while back h4350 was hard to come by, because everyone and their dog got a 6.5 creedmoor and it was the magic unicorn dust. Then there's stuff like vihtavouri powders that are from Finland I believe?? And they're amazing, but just difficult to find, and more...

    Want to start reloading

    Yes and no about the tumbler... Pretty brass doesn't shoot any better(measurably at least) I much prefer wet tumbling with stainless chips. I got the harbor freight dual drum rock tumbler, and I've loaded that thing way over what is supposed to take, and she's still ticking away. The one thing...

    Want to start reloading

    I'll agree with you on that. To be honest, I love my auto trickler, but I lucked out a bit when I got mine. And they're more than a couple hundred. With the scale they're around a grand. But if you got the money to spend on one, I highly recommend it. My main reason for recommending a beam...

    Also, a pointer, if you're in no hurry to get your stuff, as was alluded to earlier, buy what you can used. People upgrade she look to sell off their starter equipment all the time. Look at what's in those kits she see what you can get. Unless you get some old, obscure boat anchor relic...

    Want to start reloading

    Well, for me it started out to be "cost savings" but they ends up not being completely true. You'll still spend just as much, if not more reloading. What you do get, is more shots per dollar. On top of that there's the customizability and it doesn't limit you to shooting something that you can...

    I haven't looked, but most tht manufacturers sell kits that come with most everything. I'd say probably about 4-500 depending on which brand you get. Could be less, could be substantially more. Sent from my SM-G996U using Tapatalk

    Want to start reloading

    I prefer Hornady dies if I'm not getting fancy with my dies. Yes, you'll need a sizing for and a seating die for rifle. You may need an expanding die for flat based bullets(usually pistol) and pistols usually need a crimp(which is often part of the seating die). There's essentially two...

    I just haven't had Good luck with them. I've had issues with a few dies (one being bored off center) and trying to get correct parts has been a nightmare. I've sent them pictures of what I needed from their website along with part numbers, and I've still managed to get incorrect parts...

    Want to start reloading

    A few things you'll need, of the top of my head. A press - I recommend a single stage "O" frame press. Many manufacturers make them, Lee, Lyman, mec, rcbs, etc. I personally stay away from anything rcbs made in the last 20 or so years. But really any of them will serve you well. A good scale...

    6.5 creed primer size?

    I switched my Creed brass to Lapua after running into issues with Hornady. Lapua uses small, everything else used large. Maybe it was the small primers with the small flash hole, but even though the Hornady would not hold primers after 4 firings, after I switched, I never quite caught back up to...
