You're moving from the world of simply loading ammo to the world of fine-tuning ammo.
When I was fine-tuning, I continually learned that there was just one more variable I needed to control. And when one problem was solved, another three would arise that made it clear that there was more to do.
And I enjoyed all of it!
Made some pretty hyper-accurate ammo, too.
I don't do that any more. The last several batches of ammo I made were just plinking ammo and while they're plenty good, they are not what you'd call perfect by any stretch of the imagination.
I will say, that the biggest factor I ever had to deal with was cleaning my equipment. When I was loading lead bullets, the lube would start to come off in my seating die and I couldn't get consistent COL to save my life.
--Wag--
