[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1805266, member: 2736"] It is great when you find a factory ammo that shoots great, but that is rarely the case so we resort to re loading to find the best load for the rifle. Some times excellence has to be earned and loading great ammo is not easy. I have gone the same way as you and have or have had almost everything known to man for reloading high quality ammo. Some of it didn't improve anything and was sold other items did show promise and I had to decide if it was worth the money. (The trouble part of it never had a bearing on it because I look for any improvement to/in the tools and in the process. I started testing all if my processes to verify there validity and came to some conclusions and had to change some of my methods to improve the final product. I really enjoy re loading and Can do it in bad weather when every thing else is marginal. Sometimes it's just the satisfaction knowing that I did something well and it was the results of all the money and hard work paid off. I can't help you with your dilemma But I can tell you what I do when I just want to go shoot. I have several rifles and pistols that are not for precision shooting and buy factory for them to go out and burn it up. I don't even have dies for a few of them because it is cheaper to buy factory ammo for them than to reload. But they do get it out of my system and also I can appreciate the accuracy If I load for my other weapons. What is that saying ? If I pass away, I hope my wife doesn't sell my stuff for what I told her it cost. :):(:) J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
