    For me I started reloading for two reasons. Less money and better accuracy. I've been doing it since 1996. No I don't know everything or been loading as long as some. To this day i won't use a powder measure for my rifle. I still weigh every load. I want them to stack the bullets if i can do my part. At this point i don't care if it coated more to reload than buy factory ammo. I want the accuracy.

    EUDE, you should try loading some rifle rounds with your powder measure. I weighed each and every rifle round for years and years. My good buddy used to weigh his test loads, but throw powder after that. His guns shot just as well as mine. So one day I decided to do a test. I had a 220swift that was a half inch rifle, and I loaded 10 rounds by weighing each powder charge, and 10 with the powder charge straight from the powder measure. I went to the range and shot 4, 5 shot groups. I couldn’t tell a difference. I also have a .308winchester that I never weighed a single charge on. I found where the settings were, using varget, for minimum and maximum powder charges and loaded all of my test rounds between those two settings. That 308 is a sub 3/8” Rifle. Sorry for the long post, and off topic, but just wanted to share my experiences.
