[QUOTE="Old Rooster, post: 1590239, member: 108576"] Money well spent crkckr. A wealth of knowledge here.I started in the late 60's with hand reloading tools. It took at least 5 to 10 minutes to make 1 30/06 reload and being young I loved the exercise my hands got but in 1973 I bought my first press,RCBS Partner press and later a Rock Chucker press and I still have it mounted on my bench. For every bullet manufacture have a reload manual for that make and never substitute different bullet makes and load values. There are Tangent ogive bullets,Secant ogive bullets and Hybrid bullet's,only use bullet manufactures load data and don't substitute Tangent ogive bullet load data for Secant ogive bullets. Hybrids like the Berger's VLD require load data designed for that bullet. When you are not sure just ask and many seasoned reloader's knowledge are at your finger tips. Also beware of max loads and always start at mid level load data ands work up. I have found some rifles shoot their best at loads way lower than max. My 2 cents,Old Rooster [/QUOTE]
