First time I read this whole thread... and it's a great one!
Dave, glad to find out you got your rifle shooting the way you want it too. It was a journey.
Now that your hooked on reloading...
The fun is about to begin!
Now you will want to go beg, borrow, buy at least 4-5 other powders to try, along with 2-3 different primers, and at least 3-4 different bullets. The combinations are endless! Then just about the time you think you have it figured out.... along comes neck sizing only, weighing cases, neck turning, competition dies, etc...
