I loaded for nearly 20 years before I got a chrono. Now, wonder why I waited so long. It enhances your knowledge of the science many fold.

In my opinion, reloaders fall into a couple of basic categories. One group pretty much sticks with what I call "formula" reloading, just using the data from the books and being satisfied with that. Ah, that next group consists of the ones who experiment a lot, cast their own bullets, are always looking for answers, and are often not satisfied.
