Awesome 308 Loading Setup Allows Monitoring of Brass Length While LoadingEver since I started the AR-308 project here on Ultimate Reloader, I’ve been scheming up and crafting the “ultimate” (pun intended) reloading setup for precision 308 ammunition. I really enjoy shooting the LR-308B rifle, and I know exactly what I’m looking for in a 308 loading setup for everyday precision shooting:


Efficiency in brass prep – Ideally I can loose sort (308 -vs- 7.62×51 military), tumble, and load!
Efficiency during loading – I don’t want to spend a lot of time on non-match ammo
Precision ammunition: I’m looking for consistent powder charges, and concentric bullet alignment with consistent seating depth

My answer to these requirements is to use a 5-station progressive reloader (Hornady Lock-N-Load AP shown here) with top quality dies, and a “secret weapon”. What’s the secret you may ask? It’s the Redding Instant Indicator (http://www.redding-reloading.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=37:instant-indicator-headspace-and-bullet-comparator).

Very interesting item. Would be a great way to just sort brass by length or shoulder etc.
