As far as reloading I have always said I did not need another hobby but I have now made the jump. A few beginner questions.
1. load data from different sources has big difference in Max load
example 7mm-08 with 162 eld-x Staball 6.5
hornady max 45.7 gr.
hodgdon max 47.8
which do you believe, start with most conservative and work up if necessary.
2. On the internet I see people shooting 3 round groups to pick a load
a. is this enough shots per load?
b. I have always shot better than anyone I shoot with but I know I am capable of pulling a shot, or adding torque. Will something like a leadsled help? (looking at leadsled dft 2) I have never used one of these and am suspect that they might even increase the odds for error.
3. The spray on lube on the case after you run the brass through the sizing die. Is it really necessary to remove it? If so when? just before priming?
