Another question, how do you determine if a bullet is .020 off the lands? Thanks in advance.

Certain brands of powders will be more consistent, I usually only use a few different powders because I can’t be bothered to try 6-12 different powders for one load. Batch to batch, and especially temp sensitivity, you will probably see on paper at the range if you don’t have a chronograph of some sort. Knowing your velocities is priceless information.
Hornady OAL Gauge is a great tool and definitely something to have for reloading. You need the gauge, modified cases for the caliber you’re reloading for, and a comparator set so you can measure to the ogive of each bullet instead of the bullet tip. Prob run you about $200 for everything if I remember right.
