Brand new to reloading looking for advice/equipment upgrades past my basic setup.

Buy what you may, there is a learning curve to making good consistent ammo, even if you have the best and most expensive equipment.

Part of it is learning what to do that matters, and what things make you feel good but don’t make your ammo better. You learn these things by doing them/ testing them. Start with a process. Never change but one thing at a time. Rely on what the target tells you.

From your picture it looks like you loaded up 100 rounds all the same. What happens if you shoot a couple 5 shot groups and they are big. Do you pull the bullets on 90 rounds?

I did actually load up testers and shoot them before the main batch... I actually had the prepped brass primed and ready to go for all 100 and had that exact thought before I loaded up the testers and fired them. Pulling so many would be a huuuge pain.
