[QUOTE="LoneTraveler, post: 1546950, member: 77249"] When I was in our state police academy in 1971 to become a wildlife officer, I never will forget what an old instructor said, "Never assume anything" It will make an ***/out of /U/ and /Me/. ***/U/ME. If you assume anything be prepared for an unknown outcome, Which could be dangerous or expensive when loading ammo. Get a 3 ring notebook and see through page protectors and keep good records. Info on Case, Primer, Powder and Weight, Bullet by make, weight and design, and OACL set by proper distance from barrel lands, are information you need to make good shooting ammo. And stay away from bad loads. Keep records of every load you do. Also keep targets or pictures of targets in the book. Will allow you to repeat good loads and save a lot of time and money repeating loads that did not work in your rifle. The first thing to remember in loading Ammunition is BE SAFE. Get at least 2 reloading data books and compare load data. Be careful of data and suggestions of cutting loads for certain bullets like Barnes, Hornady GMX and Nosler E-Tip series bullets or any other mono bullets. These bullets can cause pressure problems without proper load data. Good Luck. And, "Welcome to the Hull Fillers Society". [/QUOTE]
