I have been reloading .45 for a year (yup a newbie) and have started on other cal's (.38 spl. 357 mag in pistol and 223 and .308 in rifle). When it comes to target shooting, it is fairly easy to come up with a "yardstick" for best load... how tight a group did I get....
But, when I go for the next step and start with hunting ammo (and the MUCH more expensive bullets), how do I start to factor in all of the other variables? Speed, trajectory... ie a slow accurate bullet might not be worth a darn after 200yrds due to balistics and energy levels (or am I wrong???)
What I would like is a book that discusses all of these things so I can start the education process..
Any ideas??
