I posted an intro in the proper section, soooooooo after reading this section...I think I have my reloading (wants) in order. My dad has some OLD OLD Lee presses and OLD Lee Handloaders (.38/.357mag).
Figured before I jumped full bore into this, I would do as he did...start w/ Lee Handloaders. I would like some comments and thoughts on the following set up. I'm doing this for hunting loads more than plinking.
Lee Classic Handloader - 30-06
IMR Powder - 4831
Federal Gold Large Rifle Primers
Combined Tech Ballistic Silver Tip - 180 gr
I have a set of old school scales and powder measuring cups from my dad. I have the brass, just want to know if I'm missing anything before I start this adventure into reloading.
My main rifle is a 16 year old Savage 110 (lefty) with a Nikon Monarch 3x9x40mm scope. My longest shot, on the average would be 75 yards. (Planted pines everywhere :banghead
So, am I missing anything? Should I change up something?
Thanks for the help.
