For my IHMSA cartridges (7mm TCU/7mm Rem BR) I use either Redding or Forster FLS dies. I've been recently shifting to neck sizing for 7mm Rem BR but that is a no-go for semi-auto reliable feeding, you'll need to FLS every time from what I understand.

The Redding micrometer seating dies are nice but a bit overkill unless you are seating for several different guns in same caliber and/or needing to adjust seating depths regularly. The ones I have for pistol are pretty much a set it and forget it once I have optimal seating depth worked out.

One alternative to Redding dies are Forster. Well worth a look.

I'm reloading 20 test rounds of .308 for my Savage 99C Series A rifle I received as a gift for some work I've done.
Received some RCBS dies from a local guy.

I'm leaning on using Win 760 but might try some rounds with H335 and a 150 gr FMJ.
These are the only two powders I have on hand at the moment.
This rifle accuracy at 100 yards with Remington box 308 ammunition was astounding!
