kdavis it wasnt you that my reply was aimed at but bodhi. from what ive seen of this guys posts on a lot of topics he just likes to to slam people. maybe he got a big stick up his butt when he bent down to change the tires on his house. but who knows he could be one of those high strung inbreads. or both. i reload myself and know that you need to be correct on powder weights if you like your face. my fav rifle is my winchester mod.70 .300 win mag, its never had a factory shell in it, unless at the factory. but that is an easy one. i give them all the shake test 2-3 times before they go in the box. since i dont do compresed loads with slow burn powder there is just enough airspace to shake and make shure there is powder in them that to me is the biggest mistake in reloding you can make. if you fail to put powder in the shell when you fire it, the primer will send the bullet halfway down the barrel and on the next shot trouble begins.
