As a new shooter, I thought I just couldn't shoot. I changed to the Remington Accu-Tip 130g, and my patterns tightend up considerably. My brother said I could tighten it up even more if I loaded my own rounds.

I had taken my brother's advice and kept all my spent casings. When the opportunity came up, I bought a complete reloading system from a local law enforcement officer at a REALLY good price.

After I go through my initial purchase of the Nosler bullets and the 4895 powder, I want to try some other bullet/powder combinations. So far, it's been a lot of fun.
