I know this post is old, but if it helps any new comers. I have a 700r .308win that i wont get into details about, but it will hit targets consistently at 1000+ yrds. I also have a Wilson Combat 1911, that... well its a Wilson that should sum up its accuracy. I weighed the pros and cons of reloading for them and many others. I dont know that i will ever reload for my .308, I use Hornady T.A.P 168grn for 500 and closer, and Federal Gold Medal Match 175grn for over 500yrds. The time it would take and components it would take to match the performance in my rifle for these is more than it is just to by the factory loads. As for my .45 I load a 185grn LSWC over 5.0grn of red dot, and a federal match large pistol primers(they were the cheapest i could find at the time). it cost me about $0.08 per round and i load them 500 at a time on a Lee turret 3 hole press. they are good enough for when i do get the chance to shoot IDPA, and just plinking usually getting one tattered hole. I use nothing but Lee, does every bit as good a job as any other stuff at much less cost on every thing I'm loading so far.
