I've reloaded several combinations with various bullet and powder types but have not been able to go to the range yet to test them out (work, lots of work).
But, what makes a good load? It's a combination of things, obviously, but what things have more of an effect than others? If I can measure powder to the .01 gr, does that matter if I use a non-match bullet? What if I can only get bullet seating to the .01" and not .001"? Do I need to invest in more expensive equipment to have a chance at making good stuff? To crimp or not to crimp?
What is the order of importance of each step that goes into a reload? Practically, I only need to be accurate to a few hundred yards on paper, and maybe an actual hunt at some point. I'm not doing F-Class.
