For those of you who like accuracy shooting.
The record for 1000 yards 5 shots center to center 1 1/16 inch
100 yards .007 inch that’s the thickness of 2 sheets of paper. One round hole.
The 1000 yard record was shot with a 6 mm BR A cartage. It’s 1.5 inches long and .470 od. The 100 record was shot with a 6 mm PPC. It is 1.5 inches long and .440 od.
Redding and RCBS both make fine off the shelf presses. They are quite large and hard to carry around
For your resize dies Redding Bushing dies are top of the line especially if you have the proper bushing and throw the expanded ball away.
Seating dies: Wilson Straight Line dies are unequaled. This is what all benchrest shooters use with an arbor press.
If you buy a powder measure don’t buy an off the shelf one. They are hard to change from load to load. Ours can be changed from load to load after you know the settings by simply dialing to it. Then each click is .1 grain. I go prairie dog hunting and take 4 rifles the equipment and supplies to load them without a scale. No need for a scale.
The most overlooked price or equipment and one of the most important is a set or wind flags. A 10 MPH cross wind will move a bullet almost an inch at a hundred yards.
I’ve been making and selling reloading equipment for 30 years. That is all we do. You learn a few things. The best way to work up a load is to take all the equipment to the range and reload there. Increase your loads a 1/2 grain at the time. Shoot and reload then increase your load and do it again. You will see the groups start to change. All the equipment you need will fit in a shoebox. This is the way benchrest shooters haft to reload. Temperatures and humidity change all day and both affect group size. When ten thousandths of an inch can move you from first to fifth place every little bit helps.
You will never regret buying the best to equipment to start with and you will never shoot at your or your gun’s best with inferior equipment.
I would suggest you go to a benchrest match or better still look up a benchrest shooter and let them help you. Most with be thrilled to help. They are the most technical shooters in the world. They shook groups we mortals can only dream about.
