[QUOTE="KY_Windage, post: 1805680, member: 108082"] I'm wondering how anybody at Copper Creek knows the powder weight "sweet spot" for any of my barrels. I'm wondering how they know the exact seat-depth my favorite bullets need to shoot optimum accuracy. Because unless you get those things right, I am not going to get the accuracy with their loads that I get with my reloads, period! Now, is my level of accuracy worth the many hours of load development, followed by the many hours of brass-prep every time I want to reload a batch? Well, that is matter of personal preference, but it is to me. I'd also like to say this to the "no timers." Maybe I did it all wrong, but aside from a few years when I was a young adult, I have never let myself get suckered into a game of making money, parenting, husbanding, etc., that left me no time to do the things I wanted to do. Reduced time, when the kids were young? Sure. But no time? No way. Life is too short. Too many wives and kids turn out to be disappointments no matter what you do. I've seen it happen over and over. As I heard Joseph Campbell say back in the '70's -- follow your bliss. [/QUOTE]
