Ok, new to reloading here. Will be sitting down with a long time reloader/gunsmith friend to start out, set up dies and start load development.
It's my understsnding that in setting up the dies it's essentially trial and error. Size a case, measure it, if it's off, adjust the die, repeat. Correct?
Any tips or tricks to consider? FL sizing and neck sizing.
On bullet seating dies, same thing? Where do you start on seating depth, the specific number on the specs sheet for COAL and move longer. Or start at the lands and move shorter?
Been working 7 days a week so time has been limited. I'll have my weekends free in a week or two so I plan on getting started then.
Will start with my 6.5CM then jump to the 6.5-284.
Tips and tricks appreciated. Rest assured I plan on being supervised and taking things conservatively for awhile till I get the hang of it. I've seen what bad hand loads can do first hand many times having worked at the largest public shooting facility and I really enjoy my fingers staying where God put them.
