First, I did do a search trying to find any info in the forum about my question, and didn't find anything, but if someone can post a link, I'd really appreciate it. Okay, here's the deal: Just got a set of Hornady New Dimension .44 mag/special dies, 100 rds. of Mag Tech 240 gr. SJLFT, and some...

Okay, here's the deal: I'm just now getting into reloading. The only powder my LGS had when I dropped by was IMR 8208 XBR in an 8 lb. can, so I bought it, picked up the last set of Hornady .223 rem dies, a couple hundred Hornady 55 gr. FMJ-BT bullets, 1000 CCI small rifle primers, and went...

Hello to all, first post, new member, longtime lurker, and thanks in advance for all your answers. Here's the deal: I'm going backwards in time. The first rifle I bought with my own money was a Browning BLR '81 in .308 Winchester, about 26 years ago. Back then, I wasn't into guns, they were...
