[QUOTE="Pokinfun, post: 2984434, member: 28113"] When I reload for rifles, I pretty much stay with what is in the manual, except for the OAL, I'll try to get the bullet as close to the lands as I can, about 0.020. Then I will back it off until groups start to open up. I hunt and shoot on a range. I never have tried to competition shoot, I know my limitations. I try to find a happy medium between loading in a magazine and as close to the lands as I can get. Pistols, I have multiple 9mm and .45 acp pistols that I shoot. I buy pulled pistol bullets for the most part. I measure everything out and find a matching bullet for reloading with the manuals data. Last year I purchased several hundred Winchester .223 bullets from the classifieds. I tossed in the die I have set for Hornady bullets and cranked out a couple hundred rounds. they ended up a hair too long to fit in a magazine. OAL and everything was good just slightly different length. I was glad that I had not crimped them. I had to go back and reseat the bullet. [/QUOTE]
