Welcome, glad to see you here. I hope more loaders will come out of the great exodus.

I don't have a .300, but I load for the somewhat similar 7mmTCU. Cases are formed from .223/5.56 brass, but there's no trimming involved. At least the .300 has become common enough that factory cases are fairly easy and affordable, but I'd still want to be set up to form cases simply because of the economy of it. I also load for the .308 Win, and have even formed cases for it from .270, .280, and 30-06 just because I could and enjoyed it.

If there's anything I can help with when you get started, don't hesitate to hit me up. I just helped a younger colleague here in my town by giving him all the tools I had outgrown and no longer used so he could get started more economically. I love helping people with this hobby.

Thanks! I appreciate your generosity with your time and skill. I don't know if I'll be doing any reloading in the near future, as I'm in between homes and staying with family. Not sure I want to unpack or not haha.

If so, I'll definitely take you up on the offer. Thanks again!

I know exactly what you mean, our house is on the market right now and what isn't already in the storage unit near where we're moving is under mountains of junk because I had to clear everything out of the house. If I really needed to, I could drag a press out and bolt it to the picnic table, but I don't have the time to go shoot right now anyway. Because of my addiction, I have so much ammo already loaded on the shelf for everything I could probably go a long time without needing to. But the knowledge doesn't go away, and I never stop reading about all things cartridge. I even have a subscription to Handloader magazine, and learn at least one new thing every month. That's one thing I highly recommend all loaders at any level do--read up, a lot. There are some excellent publications immediately available for the Kindle, and lots of manufacturers make their loading manuals available on line at no charge. Find as many as you can and read the instructional chapters at the front. Good luck!
