Angel, I believe with experience comes knowledge and wisdom. I recommend any new reloader stick to published recipes. I will admit I have deviated and experimented, especially with the 10ga. The important thing to realize is that changes in components can have an effect and to know what direction your change is likely to take you, up or down in pressure. Get to know your gun and your loads, if things don't feel or sound right stop shooting and take corrective action. Have fun, reloading is satisfying and really lets you custom tailor loads to these great old guns.
