I have been running the same loads for years for my main hunting rifles. I have become confident in how they perform and that takes bit.

Generally speeaking, I start new loads with bullet brands and styles I am familiar with. If that is not available I go looking for information. Heck I do anyway. It is half the fun. I havegotten lots of goodtipson24HCF ndappreciate it.

Getting into a new cartridge or load, it is tough to get enough experience with it. Where I live it is tough to get more than two or three tags a year. I am a little envious of folks that can hunt hogs regularly. Lots ofchances to try stuff.
