    See if you can find a copy of Nick Harvey’s Practical reloading book and have a good read of it.
    Shut up, get out & start pushing!

    Read all the reloading books you can find first. I went cover to cover on 3 books before researching more info on the web then went from there.

    It depends on your lead in. Is your rifle standard or a custom chamber. When i had my barrel done i asked for an OAL of 3.050" and thats what i got. I seat back .02" from that. Too easy
