I am very new to all of this, I just got my first 308. A friend has dies and a press so All I will need it brass powder and lead.
My rifle is a new Marlin XS7 it is a 308 and has a 1:12 twist. I would like to load some paper punching rounds as well as some that work for big game. My question is, what weight and type of bullets do I want? I know I can go look in a book and see all the different loads, but I figure some of you could get me close in producing a reasonable round for each or at least let me know what bullet weight would work best for each.
Also what reloading book would be good to start with? I want to be able to reload my 308 as well as 45acp.
Thanks for all your help
