[QUOTE="thor447, post: 3313208, member: 24867"] Well, I bought a Lyman book several months ago, read over it several times, watched a lot of tutorial videos, and finally made the plunge this week while I was in Tulsa and bought some reloading equipment at 2A. I set up the press last night, cleaned some 6.5CM brass, and am about to start the process of my first reloads. What in the holy hell kind of rabbit hole have I just entered?? Would appreciate some suggestions, here's what I got so far. Rifle - Browning X-Bolt Max Long Range - 26" barrel - 1x7 twist Powder - H4350 CCI Large Rifle Primers Hornady once fired brass (bought new and fired myself) Have some Hornady 147gr ELD Match and Sierra Match King 150gr bullets Using just a Lee Classic Turret Press (remove center rotating rod so I can use it as a single stage press). I wanted something on the heavier side with my 1x7 barrel. I've been reading up on the OCW load development and feel like I'm ready to start, but honestly, I just want to get a few made and shot so I have some sort of comfort level with the entire process. All I'm doing right now is just going slow, double and triple checking everything before going to the next step, and trying not to screw anything up. [/QUOTE]
