Note that different brands brass and primers can significantly change pressures. You should never assume a load worked up with one brass/primer is safe when you switch out a component.

That is the reason I did not go that route.

Well just got back from shooting my first round of reloads.... gotta love it.
I shot 5 different Gr's of powder w/same bullet 85 gr Sierra BTHP. And I am very happy with the results. Not to mention that the rifle 243 Savage mod 11 was sited in at 100 yards with 58 gr vmax, I took the barrel and scope off to paint and when I reassembled I moved the scope back about 1.5 inches. When I got to the range today I thought that the windage would be way out of wack... I was wrong... windage was still spot on I only had to adjust the elevation about 2 inches with 42 grs of powder, hitting the bull on the third shot. I am shooting a little over an inch ate 100 yrds with 43 grs of powder, this is what I will be loading. I also want to say thanks to all that have given me advice to help with the reloading process. Time to go make some more.
One other question though is it normal for the primers to stick out a tad?
I seem to be getting different OALs because of them.
Thanks
Steve

You do not want a primer to stick out at all.
If it does then you are not seating them properly.
I think in the books it says that they should be in about .005
If you run your finger over it you should feed it seated not protruding.
If they aren't you could experience slamfire/misfires which could cause accidents.
It's just not worth when it's so easy to do it right.

pnut I do not know what I am doing wrong I am using the hand tool not the press and WLR primers, prior to priming I am cleaning each pocket with a brush. When I am seating them they go in as far as they can. I am getting like a .003 variation in the oal.

I'm not a fan of those hand primers. I've seen the RCBS hand primer do alright with pistol but not as good as I would like to see with rifle.
My buddy has a Lee that should be thrown in the trash.
What press do you have? I'd do a couple primer seat tests on the press itself. I bet you get better results.

I have RCBS press I had 46 primed brass and I put them in the press and the primer seated properly. I guess I can use the hand primer to start them then run it through the press.

Is it a rock chucker?
You can get those primer speed sticks pretty cheap and they work pretty good.
I like mine anyway.
