I went to Cabela's last night and looked at bullets, made me realize this is going to get expensive. A lot of the posts I see are different loads and different powders leading to a large list of combinations. Looking at quantity of issue of bullets and cost to find the one that the gun likes is going to take a bit. Any recommendations on how not to have 20 partial boxes of different bullets laying around waiting to never get used? (besides lots of range time shooting)
The best way is to buy 1 bullet, 1 brand of brass, 1 powder, and 1 primer type and to stick with that combination until you get bored. Chances are you'll find something that you'll find acceptable in accuracy
Match the bullet for what you are wanting to hunt. Take a look at several manuals and see what they recommend. Check out a few forum searches to see what guys are using. You'll see a trend of popular powders for you bullet/cartridge combination. Hopefully you can find a combination that works using 1 bullet, 1 powder, and 1 primer. Take a look at what you can get locally for powders and primers and see if something in stock can be put together that shoots your acceptable accuracy.
