[QUOTE="41mag, post: 518819, member: 3804"] Just a suggestion, You could use the factory rounds as a standard when you start to develop your loads. That way you will at least have a set velocity for the particular bullet weights they are in. They can also be used for case expansion measurements as well. While you might work up to and past their potential, at least you will know your somewhere in the ball park when you get there. Once your done with them you will have once fired and formed cases that fit your chambers. while I do not head out and purchase factory rounds on a regular basis, I do keep a box or so of commonly weighted ammo around for the above reasons. It helps out when I start from scratch with a new rifle, powder or sometimes to simply to get a scope on paper. As a plus for me, they also work out for the occasional feral hog or coyote that wanders into range of the back porch, up at our place in the country. [/QUOTE]
