Buy a couple boxes of commercial. Shoot them to get a feel for your rifle and how it handles. Then get a Lee Loader which using the dies will only neck size the brass and using the scoop and suggested powders will keep the pressure down. This will give you the best chance to keep your brass...
A couple of weeks ago I started a thread regarding my old 10-10 which was not zeroing correctly and then when finally zeroed it would not measure accurately or with precision. This was after all of the cleaning, etc.
I received a lot of greatsuggestions from RCModel sas well as others but in...
Well, I did put things back together and it zeroed better. I thought the problem was solved but I continue to get poor precision on the readings. I contacted RCBS and am going to send it in for repair and recalibration.
I will do the cleaning tomorrow and update. I can replace the Lead BB with the #8 shot if needed. The cleaning of the V and edges are probably the issue as the balance seem a little insensitive and that would explain it. The magnetic damper seems fine.
I downloaded the instructions from RCBS...
I picked up a used 10-10 a couple of weeks ago and have just set it up. I leveled it and it initially wouldn't zero regardless of level adjustment. I removed one of the larger lead BB's and added back 2 and a fraction of #8 lead shot to get it to zero after a slight level adjustment..

I used a Lee Loader for a couple of years for my Swede Mauser. Worked great as long as the brass was from the rifle I was reloading for. I used IMR4350. I sold the rifle (way to cheaply) to my nephew as he wanted start deer hunting. Hey, I kept the rifle in the family.
Along with the rifle...

A few years ago I loaded up some Hornady Interlock using IMR 4350 at a level between min and max. I later gave my Mauser to my Nephew. He dropped a deer at a little over 120 yards. I don't believe it ever moved more than a step or two. Very accurate round.
It took me awhile but I finally realized I was popping primers on the military brass that didn't have the crimp removed. This was many years ago, but when I realized the issue and started removing crimps I never had another POP.
I have started reloading for 38 special, and part of my repertoire is a taper crimp die that came with a 38/357 die set from an estate sell. The set included a Lee Full Length Sizing die; a Lee Powder Through Expanding Die; and RCBS Bullet Seating Die with various seaters; and a C-H Taper...
