Wanna have some real fun take 50 of any reloading projectile you like and measure them base to tip and sort them . Then use a bullet comparator and do the same

O and also if you like me an not the best at book learning, the literal companies that write the books have pretty detailed videos and podcasts that cover everything! You all have literal champion shooters sharing their knowledge freely


Alot of people love to make reloading seem like some kinda super dangerous or complicated voodoo crap but for the average guy to make some decent hand loads it's honestly not hard at all if you have common sense and can think a little. I mean you really need to be doing something stupid stupid to hurt yourself or your rifle

I know what you mean WD.
I lurked and joined there after one the
times you mentioned it.
Sometimes I wonder how I survived lol.
I never shot comp.
Just cause I don't race nascar
doesn't mean I don't want my tractor in tune.

Id look hard at berger. I use VLD for everything. Good expansion at low velocity and hydra shock effects at high velocity. At those distances and your expectations your gonna have to pay to play. Beware of pull down bullets as some are dinged from the pulling process and why would you want to waste your time loading, chrono graphing for consistency, grouping, sighting, and traveling to the gun range and not have the upmost premium rds to shoot. (distance past 400 yrds) And you will have to repeat this process if you want to use two different bullets. Unless your time cost nothing than some of this info irrelevant. I use a custom 300 rum for my 1000yrds gun 19.5 MOA is my hold over for 1000 yrds. 210 VLD at 3170FPS
