Hi all,
Well after 7 months of loading for 9MM, .40 S&W and .45 ACP all my ammo is working flawlessly for the last few months…So…
I’m confident now to start loading for my Savage 10FP in .308.
I have the LEE classic four hole press.
The LEE products have worked well for me, so I’ve been looking at their stuff in the Midway catalog.
However Die wise I am open to suggestions from other manufactures’.
My list so far after reading up on various threads is:
-Lee 3-Die rifle set
Includes the full-length sizer/decapper, seating die, and factory crimp die.
• Whats best? DELUXE or PACESETTER dies?
• Collet Neck sizer die over any form of Full Length sizing for bolt action, right?
-Lee Rifle charging powder die
-Lee double disk kit for my auto disk
-Case lubricant (Imperial Sizing Wax)
-Lee Zip Trim
- Lee Zip Trim Case Trimmer Universal 3 Jaw Chuck Case Holder
-Lee Cutter & lock stud with ball grip (standard)
-Lee Case Length Gauge & shell holder (caliber specific)
-Lee Case Trimmer.
-Chamfer/Deburring Tool
-Lee primer pocket cleaner
-Case lubricant (Imperial Sizing Wax)
If I decide to run the press as a single stage, (which I'm leaning towards) would I need a bench mounted powder thrower (they are more exact than the AD, right?), loading block, etc.
If I’ve missed anything else, let me know
TIA, Tom
