What powder do you guys use to best velocity and accuracy out of 204 32 gn and 40 gn Vmax. Thanks

Thanks for input. I will trim them all. Looking at a Wilson trimmer, what do ya think about them

So I FL sized my once fired 204 cases. The OAL of cases varies but not to the point of being over length. Sould I trim all to same length or just load them. How will this effect accuracy. Thanks

Thanks guys. I'm a new reloader, so I wil stick to the basics. I'm Loading Ruger 204 and 6.5 Creedmoor. I'm going with keep it simple stupid.

Are bushing dies really necessary to produce accurate loads. Are they worth the extra money.

Stop buying them, the price will drop. Trust me I know. They will go on sale.

Any one better than another, RCBS, Redding etc. What should I buy for rifle reloading. Or should I just get dippers. I already have a scale. Thanks.

New reloader here. This has probably been asked before but here goes. I shoot bolt action rifles. the brass I am reloading has been shot in my rifle. so, do I full length resize or neck size. I'm not using bushing dies, seems a little to complicated at this point.

Ok, thanks for your help!

So how do I determen the proper seating depth

New reloader here. I bought some Nosler 204 Ruger brass. Says its fully prepped and ready to load. Measured case length and calipers are reading 1.829. Reloading book says case lenght should be 1.840. How will this effect COL and seating depth. Also should I full length resize this brass before...

and the winner is......Lyman.......Thanks

Anyone use Hornady, Lyman or RCBS motor driven case prep stations. Is one better than another or are they all th same.

Have a 357 BB and love it

When looking up a load for a specific caliber and bullet weight. Many powders are listed. How do you decide which powder to choose
