Thank you mommy , I will keep that in mind . I've been reloading for 25 yrs and knock on wood I havnt had a major fuck up YET. Am I capable of a fuck up ... ABSOLUTELY.
Can you please explain to me how the pressure is there but I can't see it . Is there some kind of overpressure bunny that going to hop into my rifle when I'm not looking.
Just so you know Jr, All reloading Manuals are printed 10 to 20 % lower than there actual numbers thanks to all the little lawyers around. So just as an example , say Sierra's manuels shows 50 grns of x powder with y bullet is max . The actual max pressure would be 55 - 60 grns . working up to max isnt a death sentence if it's done correctly and it's not a time bomb if you use common sense........That would mean not working up a load in 50 deg weather and then shooting it when its 100 degrees , or setting your ammo out in the sun or letting moisture on the round or chamber .......you know , common sense. Watching what you doing when your reloading is more important than running a hot load .
