To go in this puppy, I ordered some Star-Line brass (LR primers), the Lee 2-cavity .501", 440 grain mold, gas checks and the Lee sizer die kit.
School me on this one - should I open the sizer a bit to .502 or .503"? What about alloy? I'm thinking probably Lyman no.2 or ww and tin... this isn't going to go much over 1500 fps - at least I'm not planning on goosing it that fast. I don't like kicking the stuffing out of myself and I know that 440 grains at 1500 from this 5 1/2 pound rifle will come back plenty hard enough.
My standard lube is Lee Liquid Alox - should I use something else for this fat boy?

Everything I see on this indicates standard, iron sights - which I prefer over the fragile optical sights they have. I'm not sure what I'll be doing for aftermarket sights - might go with a WRS aperture for this one or a low power scope.... not sure.

I chose the Lee mould for weight and gas check design. My Lee 310 .430" mold has produced excellent boolits/results for me. Not to mention the price is right
