[QUOTE="Turpentine21, post: 2767239, member: 124909"] You can go as deep as you want with reloading. Is it all worth it? Depends on your goals. But what you will notice on all the different forums is certain loads and load ranges for a given caliber will keep surfacing. There are just some known good loads that seem to always shoot well. The old 41.5 of imr 4895 or 42.8 imr4064 with a 168 will almost always be respectable and often lights out. One of those is the Fed. Gold medal clone for 308 My Grendel’s have shown repeatable preferences for the common loads though one can be very picky. They like AR Comp in 27.7 and 8208 at 28 grains. Your primer choice may changes things a little. The Quickload data I requested for 6.5-06 the other day with my exact specs were so close to my chronograph numbers and field data it was spooky. 6.5-06 is one of those calibers that the manuals data looks quite anemic but it has to because you have some older rifles and some 256 Newtons around that may not hold up to modern loads. The 6.5 Swede is the same way because of all the older guns still in circulation. I haven’t read all the posts but if you let us know what you have I’ll bet we can get you real close. BUT, Always start low and work up! [/QUOTE]
