[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 2775249, member: 15054"] I started with the classic loaders in .308,30-30 and 30-06. I used new brass fired from my guns and they worked fine. A glitch: when i scored used brass(once fired) sizing them in the classic resulted in ammo that would not chamber at all. I ended up getting a real press and dies.. now the classics gather dust. Another Glitch: the .308 classic loader left the neck ID on my .308 Lapua brass way too tight like .302" ID. Some 30-30 brass ID was very small like that also.. something you do not get with real dies. When shooting cast bullets that tiny .302" ID for a .309" bullet does not work at all. I would pass on the classic loaders. I got them because i was a tight wad and wanted to get into reloading quickly. I found reloading is not a tightwad sport. [/QUOTE]
