From all the reading I've done on different items to use for reloading, I am stepping up. I have always worked on getting the most accurate load I could develop from any rifle that I was or using. I have kept my ranges down to about 500yds. I am stepping up and adding steps to my reloading practices. To me it's a learning curve. I have pet loads for each of my rifles, and that's all I use for that rifle. I figure out what I need for bullets, weights, velocities, and shooting yardages, that I am going to shoot. Stay within those limits. I know that shooting at longer yardages takes more work to develop an accurate load, with velocity, FPE, wind drift, and equipment to figure it out for you. I have the equipment to do all that. Setting up to create the round is the biggest job. I have learned a lot over the past few years on what the long range shooter are doing in F class. I see the need for better equipment to achieve those goals. So the last year I have been upgrading my equipment. You do get into spending thousands of dollars to acquire those items. It's a quest to build that more accurate round. That's what I love about reloading. It's you and what you can achieve. Knowing that the round going down range is going to hit it mark. You have to do your job to do that.
