HEAD0001Need a Book Recommendation
I am having my first custom rifle built. I am having a custom 22-250 built. I am trying to do it right. I have been handloading for over 30 years-so I do have some experience, and a good bit of equipment. However this will be my first effort at trying to achieve ultimate accuracy. I am looking for a book to give me a complete step by step procedure. I am interested in all aspects of achieving this accuracy-including proper barrel break in(Krieger), brass preparation, reloading technique, shooting technique, and whatever else I need to know. Can anyone recommend a good book that might give a step by step process. Thanks, Tom.

308SakoGo to Precision Shooting's website, they have a primer geared to accurate reloading. Scroll down through the books, you'll see it.

HEAD0001Thanks for the recommendation. I went to PS to order the book, but their process was a pain in the ***. I did not want to-but I went to Amazon and ordered the book(it was easy there). I am not sure why PS makes it so complicated to order something??? Thanks, Again, Tom.

308SakoHead...1 the point of reloading is a deep appreciation for uniformity and consistency. Thos ethings which will cause a bullet to be as perfectly as possible aligned with the rifles bore, and the understanding of what occurs during the internal ballistics phase of the weapons firing. In other words how the bullet travels through the barrel and what forces affect it's ability to go exactly where it's predecessor went. Read, think, read think... repaeat as necessary. Enjoy the experience.
