I was thinking most didn't transfer. I'm also guessing there's minor difference with different calibers as well.Whip_McCord has it right. Not all rifle reloading tips transfer to pistol. The most important component of loading accurate rounds for pistol shooting is the quality of the bullet and then finding out what powder combo works best with it. I always "stole" proven reliable and accurate pistol loads from other generous reloaders. One other thing to consider is what each shooter's idea of accuracy is. Most folks can pretty much throw together safe loads that will function in their handguns and be satisfied that they shoot into one hole at 10 yards, while competitive shooters, especially bullseye pistol shooters would, only be somewhat happy with loads that will function reliably and shoot under 3" ten shot groups at 50 yards.
