You can cut down 308 brass too.  Same cartridge base dims

For pistol I have a Lyman Turrent that's almost as good as a progressive.
Not as fast but a hellllll of alot cheaper and it's sweet.
I can crank out the rounds with it. For dies I can't go wrong with Lee.
Not near as spendy as others but the work great, especially with a seperate
crimp die.
For all my rifle stuff I use an RCBS single stage.
I tend to load alot more critically with my rifle cartridges, where a 10th of a grain
matters so much more

Pretty much. A sillouette target at 400m is about the size of  a 50cent piece.
With open sights you need everything you can get to shoot "expert"

open sights, very good stuff.  i never had to do that (and it was not recommended), the targets i shot tended to shoot back...

So why wasn't it recommended? It just refines your shooting ability.
Shooting expert at 400m with open sights makes shooting with a scope that much easier  :)

chances of miss, usually targeting at >500m, hostiles usually had friends with mortars.  i have a perforated eardrum from mortar

Yeah i can understand that for certain. Problem is for me the cost of having two rifles.
One set up with a good scope for distance and one with open sights for close work.
I should have bought two GI M1A barreled receivers years ago when they were cheap  :(
No foresite on my part

I still have a USGI parts kit I picked up for $450 -- all 60 era parts still in wrap.. Years ago Sarco had barreled receivers with a lug for about $350, so I grabbed two, one I built into an XM21 style package and the other is sitting with the parts kit.  I dunno, might sell the lot.  A guy named Mark Cefaly put those kits together -- everything except stock, barrel and receiver.

Well, I was going for more of a "Fore sight/rear sight vs. scope" kind of thing, but, um, thank you for putting that in my head?  ;D
