    zimmer liked post by Bos On thread : New to reloading - to what fraction of a grain do you test new loads? 0.5gr, 0.3gr...
    0.1 / 0.2 grains will make a difference in a small case like a hornet, 222, 223 etc; otherwise 0.5 grains in larger cases

    just use the lee hand one its simple and no measuring required and cheap. Also if you trim you'll need a chamfer tool for deburring the neck after you've trimmed it also cheap. that's what i use
