Reloading 308

[SamSamson]

Hi folks, kind of new to reloading, about a year now and only 223. Wanting to reload 308 and want to know from some experienced reloaders what I can expect cost wise to reload my 308. I dont hunt, and the range I go to only goes out to 100 yards so Im not looking for super loads but real good to start with anyway. Would appreciate the info.

(THANKS to all you guys for the information.This is what Im looking to learn.)

If you’re shopping for dies, you may need to use a Small Base die to get the autoloader cycle properly.
168, 175 smk are popular in that rifle.
If you have no brass consider buying Federal GMM. It’s going for $1.00/round online and you’ll have some known brass to load.
I would want to know what ammo works best before buying bulk anything.

You all did see he was only shooting 100 yards right?

I see, then scratch the sorting by decimal grain since its just for plinking.
