[QUOTE="crkckr, post: 2018832, member: 78056"] Welcome to the tinkerers wonderland! Reloading is a fine hobby and can be very addicting, especially when you find some small change can make a difference you see in accuracy. But do beware, it can be highly addictive, which means, ultimately, costly, especially when you start chasing that last Nth degree of accuracy! When you start weighing bullets, you're already over the point of no return! Still, there's enough of us that love doing it because we just have a hard time leaving well enough alone! Remember that different powders have different burning characteristics, so there are times when changing to a slower or faster powder can have a big effect on accuracy, even if the velocities are the same. Same with using heavier/lighter bullets. The holy grail for many reloaders is finding a load that uses a cheapo bullet that shoots to the same poa/poi as our premium hunting load. So what if we burn up a few hundred rounds and a couple of pounds of powder trying to find it? It's fun! To an addict, anyway! You will probably also find that after a few reloadings, you might have difficulty chambering the brass (always check that after you resize a case, before you prime & load!) because the Lee basher dies (as I like to call them) only neck size. This will be the excuse you need to buy a nice RCBS Rockchucker press and dies! You've now swallowed the hook, soon it will be set and it's off to the reloading races!
