Due to the high cost and availability of ammo, I've recently started reloading myself even though I've been shooting weapons for over 45 years. I've read various books and articles and bought the book, The ABC's of Reloading which I recommend all new reloaders read. The one thing I've noticed in terms of load recommendations by gunpowder manufactures, is their number of grains and the OAL sizing of casings is sometimes too high. Because of these discrepancies, I've come to cross reference load recommendations through two and three sources and go with the LOWER numbers simply because you can always increase the amount of power you go with or a shorter casing which won't create chambering problems. But I do enjoy reading ideas of folks who've been doing this stuff for years and learn alot from their experiences.
