RE: Question from a future beginner
Here's a listofequipmentI use. I hopethis is helpful to you. And BTW, in my earlier post I was assuming you were using the term "match gradehandload" as a manner of speaking to mean substantially better thannormal accuracy. You don't have the rifle to achieve true competitive match grade accuracy, butwith it you may be able to achieve a level of accuracy that's quite acceptable to you.It may (and probably will) require some more accuracy tweeks, though.
Here's what I use:
Press: Forster Co-Ax
Seating dies: Redding Competition Micrometer or Forster Ultra
Full length dies: Forster or Redding
Neck die: Lee Collet neck die
Primer pocket uniformer: Sinclair
Flash hole deburrer: Sinclair
Concentricity gauge: Sinclair
Neck turner and thickness gauge: K & M
Trimmer: Wilson
Case neck deburrer: Wilson
Scale: Redding No. 2 Master beam scale
Powder trickler: Redding
Calipers: Starrett
Priming tool: RCBS APS hand primer
Case Lube: Imperial wax (this isn't needed when using the Lee neck die)
*Note: Some dies (like the Redding Competition seater)for longer cartridges like yours may not work with the Forster Co-Ax press. So be advised.
There's probably something I left off. If I think of it I'll add it in another post later. I hope that sort of gives you an idea of what's involved as far as equipment is concerned. You can even buy better, but then you're getting into high dollar (and more obscure) equipment made for competitors and with the limitations of your rifle, I don't see how it could be worth it.
If you want to learn more about extreme accuracy I suggest you buy one of the books available from Sinclair Int'l.
