I gotta ask... if these are your first loads, how did you decide to just jump in at 43 grains and why would you load 50 of them?Originally Posted by brutal
first .308 loads.
43gr? Why not?
Research, and because that's what I could efficiently throw with the gear I have.
Why 50? I'm confident in my process and I want to get rid of the pulls as they're an inconsistent lot and I've got to fiddle around to get consistent COAL. Fills up a box nicely too.
The loads I work up a ladder for are 15 per. Three five shot groups

Cleaned a bunch of 45 brass. Time for a reloading session. Glad I have plenty of components for now.

This weekend I sized/deprimed, cleaned primer pockets and trimmed 1k 40 brass and to top off the fun I sized /deprimed 500 9mm brass on steel dies! Kicker is I don't shoot either of these calibers haha. While I was on a roll I sized 44mag/special brass that again I don't shoot. Next weekend it's 380, 38, 357 and more 9mm I don't shoot any of that either, but I'm stocked up on 45 gap and I haven't got more 45 auto brass yet. Guess I have to shoot so I can reload!

If you don't pay attention early in the game, you get lazy later on. I know my powder throws using the Unique tek are on the money ~ .1 maybe .2 However i still weigh every 10rds plus an OAL check .First time reloading....

Yea I figure I have enough bad habits, might as well start some good ones.
Still need to come up and see your massive setup I've always heard about
