[QUOTE="SavageHunter11, post: 1274877, member: 100006"] I'm getting back into reloading, I used to do it in college to save money for shooting range shenanigans. I would do it quick with a powder thrower and if it was within a grain (sometimes 2) of the load I worked up it was good to go. So I never really had much for accuracy. Now that I'm older and I would like to think a bit smarter I want to start reloading for accuracy for some of the nicer rifles I have built/bought. I have some questions on accuracy. Does bullet play a large role in a reload? What I mean is, if I choose to shoot a Berger 300gr bullet out of my 338 Lapua instead of the Nosler 300gr bullet, can one bullet have a significantly higher accuracy than the other? Do I need to buy all the 300gr bullets for the Lapua and all the 140gr bullets for my Creedmoor and dial in what bullet my gun likes best? Or will proper seating depth and powder charge be the main factors in the accuracy of my load? Also both guns do have twist rates suitable for the weights I would like to use [/QUOTE]
