I have just taken up reloading and am primarily focused on 7x57, 30-06, and 375 H&H. My decision to reload is based off not being able to find a reliable supply of factory rounds. The local Cabelas, Bass Pro, and Sportsman's Warehouse have had slim pickings recently.
I have purchased the RCBS Rockchucker Supreme Kit along with the Hornady, Swift, Lyman and Nosler reloading books. After a bunch of book and web reading I have come to the conclusion there are many rabbit holes in this hobby that have very little real world application. Human error in field conditions is generally much great than the accuracy of ammunition they are shooting at reasonable ranges. The rounds I am attempting to produce are for hunting and recreationally shooting. No Match.
Practically speaking if I develop loads with a margin of safety in accordance with the manual matching powder type / weight to bullet does the brand of brass or primer have that significant of an impact on anything? By "anything" I quantify that as an effective hunting round for use under 300 yards.
