    .308 Hard Bolt Lift with hand loads--McMillan TAC 308

    Valid point I suppose. I've been using them because its what my granddad used (its his old press I'm using). I've also done a fair bit of research and I'm not convinced any of the other brands of resizing dies are any better than the Lees. It's worth a shot I suppose, although I was thinking...

    .308 Hard Bolt Lift with hand loads--McMillan TAC 308

    Gentlemen, thank you all for your suggestions. Based on some of the comments received it jogged my memory of some more details that may be pertinent. When I first began reloading for this rifle, I followed Lee's instructions to the letter in setting up the dies. It resulted in hand loads that...

    .308 Hard Bolt Lift with hand loads--McMillan TAC 308 Correct. All the hand loads are using once fired LC LR brass that was fired in the gun. And I full length size it.

    .308 Hard Bolt Lift with hand loads--McMillan TAC 308

    Thanks all. Would a small based die have any negative effects on accuracy? Right now the gun is a solid 1/2 moa gun with me running it, probably better with someone more skilled.

    .308 Hard Bolt Lift with hand loads--McMillan TAC 308

    I'm using a full length resizing die, which I think I bought as part of Lee's 2 die Pacesetter series. You are correct, I am resizing just until the sized brass chambers smoothly--and this is past where the shell holder touches the bottom of the die. I may need some of those redding shell...

    Thank you for the suggestions. I keep the chamber and action pretty clean, but I'll give it a much closer inspection.

    .308 Hard Bolt Lift with hand loads--McMillan TAC 308

    Mike are you an instructor? I attended the McMillan advanced level course 2 yrs ago this october--brought the TAC 308 and the TAC 50 (which nearly blew a big ass cactus in half). Thank you for the tips. I have a metric $#it ton of BH Match brass, I'll work up a load for that and give it a...

    .308 Hard Bolt Lift with hand loads--McMillan TAC 308

    I'm having a hell of a time getting my hand loads to consistently extract without issue. I have read everything on this site and most everything I could find on the interweb on the subject. I've been having sporadic issues with my hand loads not extracting smoothly due to hard bolt lift in the...
