I have several k’s of reloads under my belt. Whoop de doo right?... But now I’ve got the itch...
Before, reloading was a means for me to shoot more and make some noise. But now I find myself wanting to get every bit of what I can out of my reloads. Only in an effort to transition into BE competition...
I know I’m limited to my own shooting skills as well as the mechanical accuracies of said pistol...but eliminating the human factor I want to know what it is that I can do, if possible, to roll extremely accurate and repeatable loads.
I’ve seen some load write ups from @vaalpens which comes to mind right now that really impressed me. I’ve seen some of @Walkalong load development sheets he made from Microsoft excel that have laid some groundwork for me to follow.
So I guess what I need help with is. Are there any advanced reloading practices that some of you guys use when developing such loads? Any specialty tools come to mind in the loading process?
I have notes listing all my load data, dates of loading and testing, temperatures and weather info, powder lot info, bullet weight info, chrono result info, function and reliability info, and etc...
I’m looking into purchasing a ransom rest and building my own mounting plate for said rest.
I’ll be developing loads for 45 ACP, 9x19, 38/357 and 44spl and mag.
Is there anything you have found in past practices that helped contribute to accurate loads?...
