[QUOTE="D.ID, post: 391445, member: 14340"] Lots of good advise in this thread. I have to add "the case for reloading" which I expect every one already knows but for the record. reloads with hunting bullets are always(IMHO) more accurate and easier to reproduce than factory ammo once you find the right combo. finding the right combo will be cheeper threw reloads than with factory ammo once you buy your reloading basics. reloading basics do not have to be expensive or extensive. they can be (at you own discretion) BUT it does not have to be. Even just the most basic set up= bench,press,dies,shell holder,lube,chamfer tool, trimmer and scale, can produce ammo that will blow factory out of the water and turn a 1.5" rifle into a .6" rifle in many cases. you will want that accuracy if your trophy is 800 yards out there when you drop the hammer. In standard (non magnum) calibers factory ammo is not always terribly overpriced but even in a WSM 2 different loads from 3 different manufacturers is not extensive testing but is a huge chunk of money. Enough money to get started reloading and guarantee you get the most out of you rifle. They say reloading is a life long hobby, thats the great thing about it, once you buy these tools they can be used for any pistol/rifle except for a couple caliber specific and inexpensive components and they will last a life time. Just my honest ramblings, take it for whatever it's worth. [/QUOTE]
