Home Forums Reloading Big Game Rifles What all is needed and what brand do you use????

I always thought RCBS was cheap/inexpensive, so that's all I ever bought. I guess if that makes me a "RCBS snob", I'll confess its true. I also always thought the high end chit was way overrated when you can set up your regular ol run of the mill RCBS fl dies to perform just as good as the more expensive chit. I'm getting less than .004" TIR with my RCBS dies. Perfectly good enough for the kind of hunting and shooting I do..

A good example of this is with the loads I worked up for a buddies rifle yesterday. He's been wanting to shoot his new 22-250, so I threw some loads together and we went out even though it was a little windy and rainy. His el-cheapo Savage XP Trophy hunter seems to be pretty un-finicky. Everything I shot with it was sub moa. No Chronograph was used. I'm pretty sure ES and SD's are pretty minimal. Pressures are just fine as well :
