As far as a newer type member calling out older members of pm I have no problem when safety is involved. But as a newer member I would like to suggest my personal rankings of websites I refer to while researching load data. From dead nuts serious to the good ole boys [no offense.]
1. benchrestcentral
2. 6br
3. snipershide
4. predatormasters
First two seems to have unlimited resources and have several guns each in the big bucks range.
Snipershide also have seemingly unlimited funds for gun projects with more in the field results and techniques.
Peredatormasters, on the other hand, are people like me. Funds are limited and $ amount is crucial.
Real field results on anchoring target critter trumps all gadgets & gizmos.
The first thing the newest reloader should lean is no matter where you get reloading info, at all times, in every situation, cross referencing is imperative! Absolutely no exceptions to the rule. Period.
Most all of the reloaders acknowledge that point and have entertaining discussions while doing so.
I personally think cross referencing reloading data is like mining for gold. When you strike it, it is a lot of fun and saves countless amounts of time & $!!
I visit this site the most because what I like doing the most is blasting yotes from 250 yards & out. Those distances require the best groups I can get because I get the absolute worst case of coyote fever ever! These members help me do that. I love this place!!
