[QUOTE="keithcandler, post: 1746718, member: 3728"] As a barrel gets worn, pressure drops, you can add more powder to make up for the velocity loss with a chronograph. A load will have a velocity that it likes when the barrel is new, record that velocity. As the barrel wears, you will loose velocity, then you can add a touch more powder to get barrel up to the velocity(harmonics) that it likes. Also, as a barrel wears, the leade in the barrel grows. When you reload, you can "chase" the lands wear and keep the rifle shooting it's very best. If you are shooting a magnum case, I would opt for a Rock Chucker vs a Co Ax press Put a want to buy on press, dies, Rcbs 10/10 scale, advertise you are starting to reload, lots of guys have stuff they don't need or from friends that have passed away. Forster dies are top drawer and do not break the bank. Reloading is a hobby, you will love it or hate it. If you hate reloading, you will be replacing barrels more often. [/QUOTE]
