[QUOTE="Wile E Coyote, post: 701361, member: 28381"] I'll second 7stw and add two points. If you're new to reloading, choose one brand of each component and stick with it for a while - until you get your technique perfected. Then, just change one thing at a time, observe the differences and WRITE IT DOWN in your notebook. When I started out reloading, I didn't do a good job of writing things down. This resulted in me chasing shadows and re-working a lot of things I didn't have to. The second point is to remember that a load combo that works in one gun doesn't always work in another. If you decide to try someone's recipie, anyone's recipie, always reduce the powder charge at least 10 to 15% or more. Do this with published data also; don't start at max. 30 some years ago, a friend fired some 30-06 cartridges loaded for a modern rifle, an his dad's sporterized '03 Springfield. He's lucky to be alive as the '03 blew up in his face after the 5th round. Just take your time, record everything, be careful and you'll be fine. By the way, I use primarily Hornady cases for my 7mm Rem Mag. The reason I am using hornady is becasue that is the first box of factory ammo I bought for a 7mm Rem Mag. After the first reload, it was uniform and concentric. Never felt the need to change after that. [/QUOTE]
