Weigh everything. The closer the loads are to identical, the more accurate they will be. Take the extra time to do things right. Reloading is not a rush rush affair.

well like i said the guy at the gun shop said weigh is a waste of time,,,,,,,, SOOOOOOOO i did my own experiment. i got my thrower out of moth balls and not one load with the thrower weighed the same. so the next step will be to see how they shoot.but even after the results i'll still weigh everyone

I charge each case to about .5 grns below what I want as the finished charge weight. Then trickle the charge up to the desired weight while in the pan, and on the electronic scale. Full length resizing is usually done so the resized case will chamber in most rifles. Neck sizing only is done when the reloaded round will be used in the rifle that last fired it. That means each case was fire formed to that particular chamer of that rifle, and does not need to be resized, just the neck expanded. I neck size only on all my reloads when possible. Hey, Skwirl, what's the weather like up in Gaines??

55*, I'll be right up. Firefightnlife, be aware, all reloading manuals are not the same. All are adequate, but some list a grain or two for the Max powder weight above other manuals. Some offer very plain instructions and techniques, while others are lacking. Look for one that lists the "pressure" for the Max load. That way you can compare the max pressure/ velocity of each powder listed. You may be able to achieve the desired velocity using a different powder, with alot less pressure, and sometimes with alot less powder weight. I own over a dozen manuals, and for my 2 cents, the Lyman manual is the best. It covers just about everything there is on reloading, great info on theory, instructions and techniques, and it lists the "pressures". A very good read. I would suggest you look a few over before you drop your dough. Good luck and happy reloading. Let us know how you make out.
