[QUOTE="FearNoWind, post: 1205740, member: 50867"] Thanks for the post, Jerry. It's a reminder for me that some of the questions we see on the forum originate with shooters who, at least to some extent, use the language of reloading but may not fully understand how the specifics you listed affect one-another. I know of some new reloaders who buy a reloading manual, turn to the page that applies to their caliber and jump right in; they never read the important parts of the manual. Perhaps your advice will reduce that dangerous practice. I would like to ad one point about reloading and long range shooting. Just because a bullet will travel accurately for a certain distance doesn't mean that it's the best choice. A new shooter might like the 6.5 Creedmore (who doesn't) but it's not a 1K big game hunting round. We too often neglect to make the distinction between target shooting, varmint hunting, and long range big game hunting when discussing reloading for long range shooting. [/QUOTE]
