I have a Forster Benchrest set, including their micrometer seating die, for 300 Blackout. I use RCBS small base dies, along the respective Forster micrometer seating die, for .223 and .308 Win. All three calibers have a Lee FCD in the final station. I really recommend the Forster micrometer seating ...

Did you measure the gas port? Are you sure the journal size isn't 0.75"? Testing by MicroMOA shows that a gas port of 0.067" should be good to go for everything. Flat spot is normal and is caused by brass hitting the deflector differently because it's shorter than .223/5.56. Having bought ...

One of my favorites, even with the spelling mistake. If anyone has a higher res version I would like a copy.

Don't think twice. Buy a 550. It's the best bang for the buck out there. Thanks- these are some of the reasons that I'm thinking about it.

How was the can? Did it need work?

My initial reloading investment (Dillon 550, tumbler, dies, etc...) was easily recouped after about a year of shooting IPSC. Where you don't save money is when you do a bunch of stocking up so you can save money. As to the cost for one round of subsonic 300 AAC Blackout ammo: Brass can be free if yo...

Well, if you want to unsettle on 208 gr, I would watch Shooter's Pro Shop and buy blem/overrun Nosler 220 gr Custom Competition bullets in the $0.25-0.28 range. If you want to go a little lighter, they often have Nosler 190 gr CC blem/overrun bullets as low as $0.21 per bullet. If you're ex/current ...

I think this test emulates some FBI "Barrier Blind" test: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9mXa5AiT0r4 And a more real world test from TWANGnBANG: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=adaEF5NJ_iI My thinking for a SHTF situation is I would want a round that penetrates and still expands. With the...
