    Thanks for all the responses so far.
    Reading through them all, something about skinning a cat springs to mind...
    Good to hear how different people approach it.
    My reloading sensei (as @caberslash called it) said to me the other day before we began "this is just how I do it, somebody else will do it slightly differently"
    How many of you are still loading with the same process and testing etc as when you first began reloading?
    I'm guessing not many, as I've already seen from the responses that the process varies depending on many circumstances such as the calibre and purpose eg. Short range hunting round vs. Shooting F class
    Cheers
    grandpamac and caberslash like this.
