If you HAND LOAD!!!

I to do a lot of reloading. I also use a progressive loader for handgun ammo. I use a powder checker die in one station. This assures that a charge is there and the same amount. All good advise from Ron. Hand loading is not the time to be casual or distracted. Turn off the TV/radios and concentrate on the process. If you feel the need to experiment with loads do it very very gradually, test firing each new load. Fired cases tell a story if you know what to look for. Avoid maximum loads. They are generally not the most accurate and not worth the pressure increases. Sorry for the rambling but hand loading is serious business. Bill
