Just ordered my first Reloader, the 550B. Gonna load .45acp, but my question is do any of you have expereince using a 550B to reload 30.06? If so, any surprises I need to be looking for?
Thanks

Nothing special, 30-06 is a rather easy rifle cartridge to load. Cases must be lubed before resizing, and cases require trimming every 2-3 firings. If you are loading for a Garand, then you need to stick with bullets no heavier than 175 grains, and use a medium burning rate powder such as I-4895, I-4064. Use of slow burning powders in a Garand will cause the operating rod to bend.
