[QUOTE="Petras, post: 101604, member: 216"] I got into reloading a couple years ago, but have really been hitting it hard the last 6 months. I currently reload for my 7mag, 22-250, and .223. I recently purchased a 6.5 creedmoor so after my wife kills her deer with it in a week or so I will start working up my own load for it. It shoots sub-moa with hornady precision 143 eld-x and also with the hornady 129 sst. I guess I have a decent starting point to work off of. I'm still learning all of the intricacies of reloading, but I can say this, I'm fricken hooked. The desire to always improve my groups will no doubt be an obsession of mine that drives my wife nuts. I'm currently loading on a rock chucker press. I do have one question for you guys, are you guys just using the cheapo dies that come in the green box at scheels when your trying to get really good groups? or do you have a more precise set of dies that you can use in the rock chucker? The reason I'm asking (and this may be just me being picky and not knowing any better) is because when I worked up a few rounds tonight for some testing I hope to do the next couple nights, I got a little bit of deviation in my base to ogive measurement. I'm using a hornady comparator to measure, and my the extreme spread of the base to ogive measurements is about .003" Is this acceptable? My last tests produce a .367" group @ 100 yards. Basically all I'm doing now is proving the group to make sure it wasn't a fluke, and then I will prove my velocity so I can make a more accurate chart to stick to my gun. [/QUOTE]
