I'm going to start my first batches of reloading soon, after lots of reading, so expect a lot of questions from me lately.
I'm not that interested in experimenting with ammo for accuracy right now, I'm more interested in duplicating factory ammo that I know my guns like already. I'm already satisfied with my DOPE for certain factory loads, and I just want to make them cheaper. I have a few questions in that regard.
1) Where can I find a recipe for common factory match loads? I haven't had much luck finding this info except for super common things like M262 77gr.
2) When replicating a known load that I have already shot (i.e. same powder etc), should I always start at the minimum charge or can I jump right to the factory charge?
