"It's been a while" but I'm looking to get back in the reloading game again more than few years later than planned. For a first rifle to use, I'm going to use a new to me, lightly used Tikka Swede and have several can's of 4831 to start with and some other selections too, but more 4831 than anything else from my 270 only days. The cans of 4831 are from different mfg'ers that have been stored for several years unopened in a running refrigerator. With 30+ years of reloading experience "from back in the day" tells me to try a couple different bullet weights from different mfg'ers from 120gr's that are mostly Remington & Speer and up to the slightly heavier Nosler AB's and concentrate getting ready for hogs and WT's this winter as the goal.

2nd ? ...are the older Hornady & Nosler Manuals on my shelf still current enough to be GTG with initial bullet weight and powder weight choices to get started, then as always let the rifle teach me what it likes best?
