[QUOTE="CMP70306, post: 1447569, member: 36999"] While I’ve only been reloading about 6 years now I’ll share some info I’ve learned over the years. - When starting a new load I like to spread out all of my manuals plus look at online sites like Hodgdon Reloading center and Ammo Guide. I then take a look at all the different powders and draw a consensus among them for the best powder and charge weight choice. - If you have a specific bullet you want to shoot buy the manual for that company as there are some small differences in the bullets that can lead to big changes in pressure. If the load in the manufacturers book is much different than the rest of the books err on the side of caution and work up slow. - If you want to get really in-depth QuickLOAD is the way to go as it can be tweaked for the most comprehensive results. It gives you a way to change a multitude of variables to tune it to reflect your actual rifles performance in a way that regular manuals can’t. My only complaint is that it doesn’t have Superformance powder and I use Superformance in a number of cartridges. Other than that it is one of the best $150 I’ve ever spent and saves me a bunch of money by having an idea of the performance before I send a bunch of rounds down range. [/QUOTE]
