Thanks for the replies everyone, this has been a lot of help already! Not first time reloading, but certainly first time trying to get as much precision and consistency as we are currently aiming for. This is our first foray into longer range shooting, but we have done a fair amount of...

Ok, having read your replies and doing a bit more research, I see I have been overly concerned with the side by side performance of these rifles. I get why people aren't concerned about the 25fps swing in our ammo, as it really doesn't make a huge difference down range. I plugged the numbers...

Hey all, Got a couple of questions for ya. Apologizing ahead of time as this will be a bit lengthy. First a bit of background. My friend and I recently completed our first rifle builds. We built pretty much identical rifles, chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor, Savage action, Criterion 26"...

The only other thing I would ask is whether you are seating and crimping in separate steps. My first 9mm reloads with cast bullets were getting stuck in the barrel because I was crimping and seating in the same step, crimping too much, causing a tiny (I mean almost imperceptible to sight or...

Not sure if you have seen this, but this company http://precisionaccuracycompany.com/index.html makes a torque wrench like arm for presses that allow you to put a consistent amount of pressure on the press arm each time. Ammosmith has a video on youtube showing how to use it with the collet die.

Right, that's why I was planning on getting the Lee collet set, which would give me the neck sizer and bullet seating die...as well as the Redding body die, which will basically do a full length resize and push the shoulder while leaving the neck alone. That way I could use the collet die the...

Yikes, I hadn't realized this was a common problem! I'd really rather not get into having different size mandrels for different brass and all that. That gets me back into the overly complicated realm of things...Thanks for the tip!

Seems like good advice to me. Will definitely try chambering as I go to make sure things are going right. As far as OAL, should I just start by buying bullets that are in my manual and seat to the recommended OAL?

Points taken on order of tumbling, depriming, priming, trimming, sizing, etc. I will obviously have to work out the finer details there. For now I guess I am more concerned about which dies to get and which process to use to get the most out of my ammo without going overboard. So are you...

Thanks for the replies so far guys. Totally didn't think about the trimming after resizing. Makes good sense to me.

Ok, having done far too much lurking on several of these forums, and only getting myself more and more confused, I decided I should finally post my own questions in hopes of getting a complete answer. This will be kind of lengthy, so I apologize in advance. Background: I am fairly new shooter...
