I got my table set up this weekend and mounted my vice. I am starting with 308. I got some Hornady 150 grain FMJ at a really good price, so I will start with those so I don't somehow mess up with my more expensive hunting bullets. Most of my brass is Norma. I downloaded the Hornday loading app to my phone, but also have a Speer and Hodgdon manual. I have also downloaded Nosler data (their PDF sheets are the best).
I have from CCI large rifle primers and have several powders listed on all of the load sheets for 308. As suggested by everyone, I will be starting with min. loads and work my way up. My Christmas present will be a chronograph, prior to me actually shooting to start my data sheets.
I will be taking my time with each step in the process. I will also be watching the RCBS videos from YouTube.
I am going to start going through my brass this coming weekend and check it all for dents and damage. I got a tumbler and a bucket of treated corn material to clean the brass. The tumbler looks pretty easy, but have no idea how much material to put in there are how long to run it. It did not come with any instructions.
As I go through each step, I will be reaching out to make sure I am not going in a wrong direction, especially with case sizing.
I always appreciate the help for a new reloader.
