Sixty rounds should be enough.

Troy fairweather's suggestion.

I have a Lyman and a Forster and prefer the Forster. If you choose the Lyman, you will want to get the carbide cutter.

Now you know why I do not use cheap digital scales. As a retired analytical chemist, I will trust gravity. If you can not afford a good digital scale, do not use one.

AR15s and 16s.

Following the same logic, automobile manufacturers should be at the top of the list. Cars kill more people than firearms.

A Remington Model 7 in 7 mm/08 would be ideal if you can find one. They are light and mine was very accurate.

Since you are using a Hornady bullet, use the Hornady data.

My Bonanza co-ax press does have a priming system. It is the same as the current one on the Foster co-ax sold today.

Get a good reloading manual: Lyman, Hornady, Sierra, or on line data from companies like Nosler.

Throw it away and get some new brass.

$150 tops!

I load all my flat base bullets 0.050 inch of the lands with no crimp and have no problems with accuracy but I do not shoot past 300 yards. I use 180 grain Partitions in my 300 Weatherby, seat to the cannelure, and use a light crimp. AT 100 yards five shot groups are under 1 inch.

I don't use gloves. It is a good thing you are not a chemist. You would never make it.

Poorly designed bench. The rear is too narrow.
