My frustrations is: I have actually reloaded for only about 9 months, but I had been rigorously studying it for two years before I started. Yes. I have a pretty decent working knowledge of the reloading process BUT I am still doing some stuff VERY wrong. I get so frustrated when 3-4 shots of a 5 shot group are touching, but the other 1-2 shots are flyers that turn a sub half-inch group into a 1.25 inch group.
My other frustration is I will go to the shooting range and shoot a FABOULUS group with a particular bullet/powder combination and then go back the next week with some fresh ammo loaded to exact same specs but I can not repeat the results from the previous week.
I'm feelin' ya on that one. I've taken to be much more careful/diligent with my brass. I don't know how much of a difference it might make, but that is the thing that wasn't a constant, so I'm trying to make it as constant as I can.
