[QUOTE="Glock 40, post: 3353521, member: 32"] There is a difference in dies for sure. I have seen the difference in runout between Lee Dies and Forster Micrometer bullet seaters. Its for sure there but I also know you can make some amazing ammo with good dies even in a progressive press. I have seen it and done it. Your having fun and experimenting. There are so many ways to end up at a good group. You could give the same gun to 5 people in this thread 3 may end up on the same powder but everything else from them would probably be different. One gun could have multiple good rounds. There are certain powders and bullets that generally do well for certain calibers. I would say load up 25 of your best round you think you have and go shoot them. Shoot 5 groups of 5 just to work on your shooting. Also if your building a load 3 shots will normally tell you if its worth messing with. I started off shooting 5 shots and personally think I was wasting money. If a group sucks at 3 shots why shoot 2 more? If it holds together at 3 then you can shoot 10 then next time to really see if you have something. At the end of the day, just go shoot more and enjoy it. Also unless your trying to go 1k don't get caught up in speed. I find most of my guns will have a good round at lower powder ranges just like at max. Why pay more to shoot a few hundred yards and wear out your gear and brass faster. [/QUOTE]
