The dies are ordered, and should be here tomorrow.
Now what.
I’ve never done this before, although I’ve been hand loading for 40 + years.
Where do I start?
7mm
I assume this is a typo and you meant 123gr not 223gr.

Hornady makes 4 different 123gr .310 bullets, (2) Interlocks (1) SST and (1) FMJ.

If he is going to hunt with this don’t use the FMJ, what did he send you?

H335 works well, but it’s not my favorite. My Ruger ASI Custom Mini-30 likes VV N-130, Norma 200 and AA 1680 in that order. My Armalite 7.62x39 shoots everything about the same, but AA 1680 produces the highest velocity.
