My first post!
I have been reloading 38 special for cowboy action for about 6 months now. I am pretty happy with the accuracy, recoil, etc. of my cartridge so far.
I am starting to reload my 243 win now.
My question is, how do I fine tune for accuracy, for any cartridge?
ie. Do I pick a bullet I think I want. Then research and pick a powder. Trial and error the best powder load. Then trial and error the amount of crimp.
If after all of that I'm not getting the accuracy I want, where do start to change component brands/models of the cartridge?
ie. Would a Federal primer change accuracy compared to a Winchester primer? Would a Hornady 100 gr FMJ change accuracy compared to a Sierra 100 gr FMJ?
