We will get you on the right track. You got the front rest coming and that will tighten things up. I wish you were closer to Michigan so we could hit the range together and build you a good solid repeatable load. In liu of that, we will have to work by phone and IM. Don’t over complicate the process. Set the mandrels aside and just use a bushing that is 2 or 3 thou smaller than your loaded round diameter. Neck tension is not going to turn a good solid load into garbage (within reason). Let’s talk more after you get the rest and get used to it. Then I can help you set up a test to select the correct charge weight in less than 50 rounds (and that includes duplicating the first test). Then we will move on to seating depth. Then, we can discuss more advanced reloading techniques. I want to help you, because SO MANY great people on this site have went out of their way to help me.

Dave, your awesome!

Thanks Brett. Just trying to give back a bit. With component pricing, Covid, etc, it’s a bold time for any new shooter to enter the sport. I hope I can help him like others helped me get up to speed.
