Hi,

As barbaric as it may sound, this has been my procedure ever since I started handloading in the mid to late 1970s; and I have yet to blowup either a rifle or pistol by using it.

It is amazing how much one can tell just by reading the casing and primer. With hotter rifle loads, I might measure case expansion at the base, comparing it to a factory fired casing.

Usually, with military type rifle loads, I have gotten my very best groups at or near maximum loads (6.5x55 Mauser and 7.62x54R Mosin are good examples).

Your thoughts and comments?


Respectfully,


Sieger
