I will start by saying sorry if the below is dumb newb questions......
I am looking to start shooting benchrest and was thinking of starting with a 30BR. I can't really load at the range and I also shoot at a few different ranges so it seems the 30BR has decent flexibility in preloading.
I currently shoot a custom .308 in some club competitions that lean more toward F class. I am set up to reload but have a large stock of FGM that my gun shoots well enough for these competitions. I also shoot some .22lr benchrest so I have a good front rest and such.
I need a rifle (I am set on the optics front). I am thinking a used rifle to see what I like and it seems the 30BRs don't really wear out. I will also need reloading dies as well as the equipment to form cases. The whole "having to produce a caliber that doesn't exist" is throwing me off a little. Any recommendations? I did some research and came up with the below but it is far from set in stone.
So far my shopping list is:
Lapua 6mm BR Brass
K&M Shooting 6mm - .30 expander
K&M Neck Turning Set
Neck trimmer
Best Die Set?
Thanks in Advance
