[QUOTE="Retired Educator, post: 214599, member: 3373"] All of the above. + Get yourself a good manual and follow it. You can experiment a little but my experience is that whenever i went a little over the maximum charge, my accuracy suffered quite a bit. As was mentioned, you will not save much money, if any, because you will graduate to higher quality ammo. For my goto deer rifle I worked on a load where from the bench at 100 yes, in a 5 shot group, all four bullet holes were touching. The other benefit is you can reload some really high quality bullets that are not easily available in factory loads. For example, I really want to try a 110r Barnes TTSX in my 270 if and when i ever draw another deer tag. Have never seen them on the ammo shelf. Good Luck and the rule for all outdoor activities applies in reloading as well. You don't have any activities where you can do it cheaper than buying it in a store. [/QUOTE]
