New Reloader, using Progressive
Hi,
I'm new to reloading. I want to reload 300AAC 220gr subs, as they're preferred by my hunting rifle but relatively expensive.
My father has a Lee 4000 progressive press and supporting equipment (scales, case tumbler and media, lube, reloading manual from '22 or so, calipers, powders and primers etc), however he has never used his setup.
He has dies for several calibers but not 300AAC.
I'm looking to buy what I need to get started.
Snippets of my current Midway cart are included. I'd like to know if there are any caliber specific tools I seem to be missing.
My brass comes from a mixture of firearms but is primarily S&B, all once fired from my weapons only (no range pickups).
A few questions I couldn't find readily in the FAQ or on the spaces I looked online.
Is it necessary to get a specific decapping/depriming die? It looks like the full length sizing die has a depriming needle in it.
How important is a chrono? I didn't see it listed in the FAQ recommended setups but my reading comprehension may have gotten the better of me. I would assume for my use case, loading subs, I'll be able to identify over velocity rounds quite quickly from the difference in sound.
Ive watched the ultimate reloader series on rifle reloading. Would like to see a caliber specific reloading video if anyone has a link. I searched a few times but the quality of these videos online seems to vary wildly.
