It is not the easiest round to reload, that short neck makes it hard to get much tension. I use Redding dies (they're my favorite for everything) and in the beginning used 86 grn bullets but switched to 110 grn (.308 for m-1 carbine) because of availability and cost. Would sugget you get the Starline brass since a very small percentage of the surplus stuff is reusable and isn't very cheap. Last flyer I got from SOG had some at about triple the price it used to be.
Also, the shiny Starline brass is easier to find than that tarnished surplus stuff.
