Bugger...that’s a lot of testing to be done.

Yes...it does...
I used to just shoot stuff...load...shoot...dress out & eat it.
Then my mind began to wonder about how far a bullet is seated in the case...![]()
I figured the die is adjustable, & it has a fair bit of adjustment, so what happens when this changes.
Little did i know at the time, that was me crossing the event horizon into the black hole that is reloading...i cant see that ill ever escape its gravity now...
Im glad you've fallen in there with me gaz..it would be horrible to be in here all alone.

Thank for all replies.
I guess I’ll just have to get out there and shoot more...darn it. But I will use the loads I’ve worked up as potential start points (will go minus 1 to be safe on same weight projectile).
When I mentioned performance- I was thinking poi, but BR did raise interesting point...which is ultimately what I want the rifles to be doing - 1 shot kills and fast take down. I’m still getting my loads sorted and still NEED rifle / shooting time to become more confident before hunting a lot more than I currently do...if that makes sense. Cheers.

Cases, primers, powder type, powder amount, projectiles, seating depths....etc. then there is the environment - humidity, temperature, wind....
I’m not a mathematics major. Utvthere must be thousands of combinations alone, per firearm across what can be controlled...
