I am getting overwhelmed by the information and options out here.

I purchased the Hornady manual and read the front portion before the ballistics charts. I am at a loss of where to start. Now that I have this book, does that limit me to only reloading Hornady bullets unless I go get a book or something for other bullets? Im assuming Hornady specs for BC and COL are specific to THEIR bullets only. I'm pretty much set on powder, thats straight forward from what it seems in the book.

I was curious as to what to start with when reloading for my Savage, so I stopped in here and found so many different combos of powders, bullets, primers, etc. Will sticking to just Hornady severely limit me? I want to work on my .308 loads to get nice groups, at least for now until it gets back closer to deer season.
