hi everyone,
over the past month or so i have been buying all my reloading gear, and i believe im ready to get going on my first load.
for my first attempt at this im going to load some 223 and some 22-250
the 22-250 will be neck sized, (the brass was fired out of the specific rifle it will go back into) and is for a savage axis (1-12 twist rate)
the 223 will be shot out of an mp ar15 and i will full length size it, (1-9 twist)
i have caliber specific reloading books for both calibers and the lyman 49th, but before i go off ordering primers, powders, and bullets, id like to get some opinions on the loads that might be the most accurate. what bullet weights and styles should i be looking at?? the main goal for now is just to punch paper and produce small groups for now. how does one go about picking a starting point for load developement...there are just soo many options. my main goal here is pure accuracy for long distance. thanks
