I have a semi-auto 308 I intend to do some handloads for.
It's been a while since I've bought dies.
I'm wondering if anyone can tell me which brand/model of dies grip the bullet for seating as close to the caliber diameter on the ogive as possible.
From experience, I don't want dies that are pushing on the tip, or near the tip.... I want a fairly open seater that grips low on the ogive.
For dies, I really will need just a full-length sizer/deprimer (hell...depriming shouldn't be an issue since this brass won't be reloaded...anyway). I then need the seater, and finally a separate crimper (not sure I'll need it...but I may want to use it if the gun has too violent an action for uncrimped loads.
BTW...I'll be making shells for an HK 770.... and possibly a pump Remington.
