Ok,
I've got a Dillon 650XL on the way and need some advice from the forum.

I'm looking to load bulk 5.56 with 55gr FMJBT projo's in once fired LC brass.  A buddy owns one of the largest LE ranges on the east coast and has offered up his brass bin (55 gallon drum) for me to dig through.

In the near future, I want to invest in a spare toolhead to load 147gr FMJ .308 in once fired brass.

The goal here is quantity for a rainy day... a very long and possible permenant rainy day...  YES WE CAN!

So, I'm hoping to find a powder that will function well for both cartridges.  My priorities are clean and safe, expense and availability.

Am I asking too much or is there something out there that would fit these needs.

Please let me know!

God helps those that help themselves.  Be prepared; buy RE-15 and/or Varget, and lots of primers.

Thanks guys... keep the suggestions coming.

I have already bought 5,000 CCI41 small military primers and 5,000 FMJBT LC projo's.

Like I said, the cases I should be able to get from a friend.

Are there any good places to pick up something like Varget at bulk pricing to save a little cash?

I use BLC2 for both.

Powder Valley for powder.
