I fired my first 20 rounds of my reload. All went well. Only 1 misfire.seated primer too deep I suppose. IMR4320 reduces recoil compared to milsurp I have been firing. Now time to trim and reload after inspecting brass. Thanks fellas for all your help.

I just built mine for $45. Not bad for having 4 4x4 legs and a 1in plate wood top. Seems to hold all my supplies and press with plenty of room to spare. Just waiting on my 303 neck sizer ball and I can get started. I started to read the Lyman book I got today. Good read so far.

Anyone know where to get a cheap reloading table (bench) for a beginner? Just something to start with. Enough room for my press and powders and shells.

Still waiting on my manual. Anyone know the starting load for sierra 174gr HPBT .311 with IMR4320 or IMR 4064? Loading for my 7.62x54r mosin nagant.

Thanks for the directions juniustaylor. I appreciate it :)

What powder do you reccomend? Missed my powder being delivered by 5 minutes :( oh well, I will get it Monday. Need to go to a thrift store to find a decent table for my press. Wish me luck!

Juniustaylor, I just ordered the .303 British button you mentiones. Wher do I put it in the die? It just looks like a long spike that gets wider. How will it reshape my brass? Maybe I put in the place where the .308 sizer is right? Just need to be sure before I try anything. Thanks!

Sonier, That load data is for hodgdon, not IMR. I ordered IMR 4320. Thanks for all the help fellas. I will slow down and read the Lyman manual when it arrives.

lol i will do that.just things in my future in december may prevent me from doing the things i love. i am really interested in my rifle and shooting it. about to enroll in a gunsmithing training school from penn foster.

I just ordered the Lyman #49 manual. Hopefully it helps my stupidity. Just new to this. Plus i just ordered the correct dies for my caliber from Lee. Now I just need a good table and the press :)

Wow, Juniustaylor That was alot of info there. I really apprciate it. Is this the size die I need for .311: http://www.midwayusa.com/viewProduct/?productnumber=523184 Also, the manual I got only tells the proper charge for .308. That angers me!

This press is $50 cheaper than the single stage cast press and has a good manual to come with it: http://www.midwayusa.com/viewProduct/?productNumber=480380

It barely shows what the COAL is! Says the max is 3.057. That the numbers to put in the caliper to see if the bullet is seated far enough?

The maunual here has all the loads for .308 not .311. how do i know what charge to put in now?

OMG! All the bullets in the manual I got are .308. I thought most of you told me to load .311 Is the C.O.A.L. the measurments I should put in the caliper after the bullet is seated to check if its seated far enough? I am disappointed in this manual!!

Well, My powder should be here any day now. I got 2 lbs of: http://www.midwayusa.com/viewProduct/?productnumber=988534

Thanks rc, for all your help. just got the bullets and my scales a few minutes ago: https://www.grafs.com/retail/catalog/product/history/1/orderId/1015001/productId/17645 http://www.midwayusa.com/viewProduct/?productnumber=438260

Does anyone know the proper length of a 7.62x54r loaded round? Dont want to seat the bullet too shallow or too deep. Got some calipers on the way. Here they are great for measurments. Also, what dies should i purchase for the Lee Classic Cast single-stage press? Thanks.

I just ordered a good caliper. Does anyone know the proper length of a loaded 7.62x54r round. So I know when the bullet is seated right. Dont want to seat it too shallow or too deep.

So, How much powder do I put in my loads? Im sure the manual I ordered will say but I have not gotten it yet.
