Default RE: 30-06 re-loading

The Lee Anniversary Kit with the Lee Reloading Manual is what I have!!!! I have loaded 30-06 with it and have the dies to reload 303 British, 357/38 and 9mm Luger. The only thing I didn't like was the scales. I ended up getting a set of RCBS 5-0-5 scales off eBay. I also purchased a tumbler to clean my brass. As another posted had noted you need a good set of calibers to measure your cases.

Along with the kit you will need a 30-06 case length gauge, so you can trim your cases that have stretched.

You will hear a lot of people put down the Lee stuff, but I have no compliants with my stuff, other than the scale. It works, but I wanted something just a little better. I would prefer a digital scale, but those can get expensive.

I reloaded some 30-06 with Nosler 150 gn ballistic tip (green tip) with 50 gn of IMR 4064 powder. Shells worked great. I shot them in my Remington Model 700. I just got into reloading a year ago, but when I reloaded the Noslers, I used them during the WV buck season and took a nice 5 point buck. Dropped him in his tracks!

Good luck!
