Thinking of reloading,

so with the RL-10 powder my best group was with the Hornady 19.5gr @ 0.5"
and the N-133 was the Sierra 23.5gr @ 0.5" or the Hornady 21.5gr @ 0.4" without 1 flyer.
next plan is to re check the best group size with each powder with each bullet,
 
The increments need to be smaller , you may have better precision between these loads . In a case the size of .223 I would suggest 0.3 grains increments .
I'm sure it's been suggested previously by Lancaster .
 
i will get on making them up this week then, yes its been mentioned a couple of times, i just needed that memory jog, so much alien info has gone in ,y brain this last couple of weeks, some details go astray :)👍

.so this is my list of all the in between increments of .3's. or as near as i can,but then i spot on so sierra load data on here and what iv seen elsewhere, and as you say it says 22.9 for the RL-10 powder,and for the N133 it says 23gr but on there load data at acurate shooter.net it says 24.9 for the N133

Use the most up-to-date , when was the data on Accurate Shooter last updated .
You have little experience of recognising pressure , so my advice would be to stay with the bullet specific data you have at least until have more experience.
 
Looks like old Sierra data , it's possible that the data has become more conservative . You should be able to find good precision and accuracy within the newest data .

i like conservative, more than over pressure 👍

I have to say this in question form. What published pressured tested data aka from either bullet manufacturers or powder manufacturers is over either SAMMI or CIP pressure standards? Note that I ignored both Quick load and Gordon's program's.
 
Go for it mate! A lot of people put me off before I decided to jump down the rabbit hole.

It’s very rewarding knowing you have tailored a round to your rifle and achieved cloverleaf groupings.
But don’t do it if you are looking to save money!😂
Good luck!

just watched a video of one, 39 seconds to throw 1gr, so it wound take around 14 mins per charge for my loads, unless iv got its usages wrong, if not it seems like the most pointless bit of reloading equipment iv ever seen,

It's a trickler, you throw your charges 0.5-1gn light then trickle the rest, a Lee perfect powder measure will easily get you within range of trickling the last 0.5- 1gn.
 
Right i see, then in my eyes its created a solution to something that wasnt a problem. i use my powder thrower then end up with 3-5 turns of my trickler, cant see a machine making that any easier, i recon it would save me 5-8 seconds per charge, but im new to the game so have no idea really, you could sell me magic beans at this point:lol:
