Hello, I'm still learning about reloading..I've been loading .44 mag for awhile now, and am now ready to venture onto my 300 Win. Mag. I recently purchased 250 once fired brass. I haven't ordered my die set yet as i have a few questions.
I read some people recommend to only neck size, and some say full size, while others recommend to use a full size die, but back it off and only use enough till it just chambers in rifle to avoid pushing shoulder too far back. Which is the best method to do?
I wasn't aware that the belted magnum cartridges are a little bit more challenging to reload, and offer a less than desirable case life. I see a lot about the case above the belt expanding too much after only 2-3 reloadings making the case useless. How is this problem addressed?
How long will the average case (Win headstamp) last for me? 4 reloadings? Just trying to get an idea.
I will be using 190 gr. Sierra Match Kings with H4831 powder and Fed 215 primers. How well does the H4831 perform for the 300?
Sorry for a long first post, but I'm ready to get things started, but can't seem to find the best way to reload this caliber.
Thanks for any help
