And so this humble purchase begins my journey into the rabbit hole. I have oldncranky1's gracious offer of equipment, supplies and tutelage until I can gradually amass enough of my own equipment, supplies and knowledge to get the job done.

I think for now my primary focus will be on creating quality ammo for my .308 and .224 Valkyrie. Not really so interested in mass production quantities or economic benefits yet.

Okay... and when you get that load developed... then you can start working on making tight groups at TWO hundred yards. :bigsmile:

Oooh, nice.

I know nothing about .224 Valkyrie except that the bullets are small and fast. :bigsmile: Let us know what happens with your reloads!
