.500 NE Reloading - Noobie Questions

[Ericedwinbates]

Congrats, Rare Breed nailed it. 3031 is what Ken Owen regulates with. Book loads and oal lengths crimped into grooves. I shoot what ever brass I can get and have noticed no difference in accuracy. Keep velocity 2000-2100ish and you will kill anything with proper placement.
The big doubles are a bit of a mind shift for accuracy when compared to a lifetime of bolt action shooting. Remind yourself what its for and be realistic on range, 50 yards or less. Be a better hunter and get close as possible, thats what makes it a challenge and dangerous game!
Enjoy!

100 rounds of .500NE factory Norma, will cost me 2600€ (26€ a piece)
So if I can reload once 100 rounds of .500 at a cost of 12€ a piece, I already gain back the cost of even the most expensive press...
