[QUOTE="infoman jr., post: 4348240, member: 2046"] Down the rabbit hole I go. I recently bought an RCBS press, .223 and .308 dies, a pound each of CFE223 and Varget, and I'm accumulating the rest of the junk I need to produce some reloads. I've been playing around on QuickLoad for a couple days to get some starting points with powder and charge weights. First up is a target load for .223 which I know I'm going to load 85 grain Barnes Match Burners over CFE223. I'm also looking to load a .308 round for hunting. For target loads, it likes 175s, so I was looking in that ballpark. Right now, I'm leaning toward a Barnes LRX, but I've also been looking at Nosler Accubonds and Hornady ELD-X bullets. I'll be potentially taking shots up to 400 yards with this, so accuracy and flat trajectory are important. I'd appreciate any feedback on these rounds or suggestions for something else to consider.
