Finally got a .308 die set today. Got the last one, but they were all out of .30-30. They also had a pretty dismal bullet selection. They had no 75 gr .224 so I got some Hornady V-Max 80gr instead. We'll see how that works in it. They also had no books on reloading except for 1 shot shell guide.
For my first load of .308, I got 168gr Sierra Matchking. I'm going to use some old Remington brass I shot already, and I'll load that up with the Varget. For the next batch, I may try a little heavier bullet weight.
I did notice that they got a shipment of Hornady Steel-Match 75gr .223, which they never had before. Usually the highest grain I saw there was 55. I was going to buy it, but I already have some handloads, plus I got a big ammo box of 62 gr Federal a while back.
