I started with 335 because it was what the local shop had been using in the reloads they were doing for me as well as the fact that is is always in stock in town, I started by copying that load to get the feel for things.
CFE is also always available so that was the second one I tried, when I first looked at LR's chart and saw that they were pretty far apart I decided to get some opinions as where to go next. I'm sure I'd get into trouble IF I were to just make assumptions by looking at that chart and the Wife has been a good sport with the whole reloading thing but no need to just start winging it when I have Y'All's experience to glean.
On a side note after making a gauge that registers at a point on the bullet that is .259" I found my col's were allover the place so I fixed that and now the 7 sets of 5 I have for each powder are all +/- .001 with most +/- .0005 so I'm excited to see what that does for things.
I have another question I'm thinking that burn rate will affect things differently with differing barrel lengths and gas port location as well as bullet weight/bearing surface is that a correct assumption?
