Wasn't always a saying I was familiar with, but have gotten to know it better over time.

I still run Lee equipment, but for certain calibers I do prefer the Hornady dies.

I've had good luck with RCBS Carbide dies for the calibers I load alot of.

For the pistol's, the Lee carbide have done fine for me so far. The .45acp carbides get a work out when I have enough supplies on hand.

For rifle, I've been using the Hornady Custom and have no complaints.

The 50, still using the Lee's - just have to be cautious of having an appropriate amount of lube on them, or the casing will stick.

just picked up some H335 at sportsmans warehouse. I look forward to arm wrestling the press tomorrow.

Better sell that H335 to me. It is NASTY stuff. :innocent0

Armadillofz1 · Nov 2, 2014

hazmat shipping charges would probably not be worth it.

Actually, I've been having trouble getting H-335 to meter consistently. Had to turn to the trickler.

Yep, stuff it.. lol

I have no issue metering H335, load a 55gr ZMax at 25.3gr and it shoots minute of groundhog head all day..

Even with the Lee disks on the pro-1000, it throws dead-on at 25.1gr every time for me.

H335 is like water on the 650XL. It's scary how consistent the charges are.

Found 25.5gr to perform flawlessly across the board in several of my AR's. (14.5, 16 and 20")

I shot a lot more (and had more fun) when I used to go to Myrtle Grove every weekend with the regulars. Now that I pay a premium for Sanners Lake, I hardly ever go. Too many club events on the weekends.

I do miss sitting down at the grove and trying new load recipes every weekend. I have a M1A and a Rem700 that need .308 load development. Is it still busy as hell there on weekends since SCSC shut down it's ranges? Guess I should post this stuff in the MG thread.

I would venture to say, if a powder measure has trouble with H-335, the fault lies in the powder measure. It is freaky consistent in my Dillon RL550B as well.

During the week, it isn't too bad - some days are better than others.

Weekend is still hit/miss, but with the weather starting to turn - it should be a bit easier to grab a table.
