    Thanks for all the great input,I've got some idea now on what's required to start reloading,
    So any suggestions on projectiles,powder choice and the most reliable primers?

    Now you have opened a can of worms..
    Or you can stay within 300 yards and keep life a lot simpler.

    Im shooting 7-08 out of a 22inch barrel,
    Currently using factory hornady with 139grn interlocks,I have tried other brands but the hornady is the most consistent (1inch groups on a good day at 300m)

    If that's the kind of grouping you get from that factory ammo, I'd try to find out what kind of primer and powder they use and get as close as possible to that loading, taking care to start at a lower powder weight and work up.

    If you match or better that size groups you'll be an expert very soon.

    I use ADI powders because they work and are readily available.
    I have used various primers over the years and never had any problems, I go with what my local shop stocks.
    Sierra (blitz, gameking, prohunter) and Hornady (interlock, eld-x) projectiles always seem to do what is required at the pointy end.
