[QUOTE="robbobsam, post: 445256, member: 25432"] Hiya Mate, I am new to long range hunting too, the best advice I can give you is to save your brass and buy quality first time around. I saved up before I purchased my .243 rifle and scope and I am glad I did. There is an old saying that I hear a lot with shooting. [B]"Buy good once, buy rubbish once, then buy twice and pay more."[/B] Save your brass and get a top quality scope first time around. I saved up and got a Nightforce NXS 5.5-22 X 56 and I am so glad I did. I also saved up to purchase all Redding reloading gear with comp dies and steered clear of the cheaper Lee gear. The results have been excellent so far. In the 8 months I have been shooting rifles I have reloaded my own ammo and am getting [LIST=1] [*]Sub 1" groups at 200yds with a factory rifle. [*]10+ 400yd rabbits [*]1 x 700yd hare. [/LIST] I may have achieved the same with cheaper gear, but I doubt it. Don't rush to buy gear, save and get the best. [/QUOTE]
