At the moment, the only thing I load much of is .45 ACP practice ammo (and I've loaded ~1000 rounds of it to date). I'm not trying to get match-quality ammo, so I don't keep track of how many firings my cases have, I use a powder throw, and so on. However, I'm about to start reloading for a .308 bolt rifle, and I want to make those loads as high-quality as possible (the rifle is potentially very accurate). The things I'm planning on doing differently are:
Use only the same brand of brass in each batch
Keep track of each casing's number of firings, and keep each batch identical in this regard
Individually measure each powder charge
Trim the brass
Seat the bullets as far forward as possible without impairing functionality
Is there anything else I can do to improve my ammo? Are some brands or weights of bullet inherently better than others?
Thanks...
