[QUOTE="BlackTail30, post: 3079928, member: 8632"] I think if people approached reloading with just a little bit of critical thought, they’d understand what Hornady is saying. If you ask 50 reloaders how they load ammo you’d probably get 50 answers. Why is that? Some guys swear by the Satterlee method and get good results. Some guys swear by the OCW method and get good results. Some guys swear by a Ladder test and get good results. Some guys load develop on virgin brass and get good results. Some guys only develop on fired brass and get good results. Some guys always neck turn and get good results. Some guys never neck turn and get good results. Some guys anneal every firing and get good results. Some guys never anneal and get good results. Some guys swear by bushings and get good results. Some guys swear by mandrels and get good results. Some guys neck size only and get good results. Some guys full length size only and get good results. Some guys test small .003 jumps and get good results. Some guys test big .025 jumps and get good results. Etc., etc., ETC….. If there’s a 1,000 different methods that get good results then maybe the method isn’t as important as we think it is. Use good components and try to be consistent as possible and you’ll have good ammo. No .001 difference in jump or .01 more of powder is going to put you into a “node”. [/QUOTE]
