[QUOTE="mongo4567, post: 1939560, member: 113361"] I started reloading fairly recently myself. I have two friends that helped that both have over 20 years of experience....one closer to 40 years. I've just messed around with some of my favorite calibers that don't have good commercial ammo as I want it at good prices (6.5 swede, heavy 5.56, light 308, just subsonic 357, 280). I've learned a lot. One friend's loads for specific guns are quite a bit heavier than what you will see in recent reloading manuals. He very carefully works his way up, looking for velocity nodes. He says there are fast barrels and slow barrels, there are a ton of variables. As I understand the pressures they use in tests to failure for modern firearms is astounding. I personally check every load on two sources, and write down everything in a load book. The writing helps me verify. [/QUOTE]
