[QUOTE="Mysticplayer, post: 45703, member: 8947"] [b]Re: What reloading manuals are most accurate to y\'all?[/b] All manuals are 'correct' under the conditions and components tested. Which only gives us a ballpark place to start with our personal rifles. The variable that stays pretty constant is muzzle vel for a given weight of bullet, case, and barrel length. variations of 5% are certainly within the norm. When working up a load, keep an eye on vel. If a bullet combination produces vel way above the norm, something is wrong. There is no free lunch and unless you have an in with the super powders, you will not beat the SAAMI standards. If you are going to make ammo for others, I would assume that you have a wide background in reloading and have access to the necessary monitoring equipment. You open a huge liability issue if simply using data from a reloading manual then shipping to someone to use in their rifle. Are you going to work on the specific rifle or just make low runout ammo built to SAAMI specs? Making ammo for general consumption is really a hit and miss proposition (I am sure you know that already). Would be no better then factory - with all the risks to you. With liability insurance rates going through the roof (if coverage is even offered), I would be surprised if this type of business would be profitable. Anyways, good luck with your venture and be safe. Jerry [/QUOTE]
