I was looking for the Sierra one, but I couldn't find it.<BR/><BR/>Like anything, keep your eyes open, & talk to guys at the range and at the gun stores, they might know someone with an older press that the will sell you. <BR/><BR/>Definitely start saving all your boxer primed brass, and scavenge the brass box at the range!Natoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10529708894229717666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6594902428992225313.post-50111561526999996712009-01-02T10:50:00.000-05:002009-01-02T10:50:00.000-05:00Thanks Nat.I truly appreciate your effort.I did a ...Thanks Nat.<BR/>I truly appreciate your effort.<BR/>I did a little research last night also. Go the same results.<BR/>I'm just not sure on what equipment to buy or type or amount of powder to use. <BR/>Now I'm better off than before. Thanks again.<BR/><BR/>Oh, BTW, I did some looking for .223 also. It works out to be about 1/2 of what .308 costs.<BR/>Average cost of commercial ammo is .50 per round of .223<BR/>1.00 per round of .308Western Mass.
