I'm a very new reloader. In fact, I have the equipment, have cleaned and primed some once fired brass and am building my bench now. I enjoy reading about everyone's "pet loads" and, like rifles, there are almost an infinite number of combinations of powder, bullets, cases and primers. So, since you buy cases and bullets by hundreds, powders by pound and primers by 1000s, what do you do with the extras if you don't find you pet load with a given combination? Set em on a shelf and hope your next rifle likes them better? Ok, probably don't have primers sitting on shelf for years but bullets?

This newbie is curious. Your words of wisdom will be greatly appreciated.
