You will love the quality of the ammo that you make. Just a word however is to pay attention to the weapon that you intend to shoot your handloads through. I am a big 30.06 US Military nut. From experience you need a good set of load data tables. This is critical for rifles such as the M14/m1a and the Garand. Hot loads are not much liked by these types of rifles and you can bend oprods. Ask me how I know. BUt it is no big deal as long as you understand the key to USGI loads for these types of weapons. Also, a good tip is to think in terms of pressure or CUP. I found this helpful in truely understanding that it is pressure that plays a big role in how a cartridge is built.

Experiment with small batches of ammo, don't go crazy on just one load until you have sampled a few. TAKE TONS OF NOTES ON CARTRIDGE PERFORMANCE, that is what is nice about reloading, you control, you customized the round to the firearm (most noticable in rifles than in handguns IMHO).

And when you get all of that stuff down and are SAFE and comfortable with your process you can experiment with OGIVE length variations per chamber per rifle and witness the effects, small variations in powder loads (this can get real anal) and the results on the target. Oh, have fun now and remember you can spend alot of money on stuff.
