Gene, I with you on company, if it works that is what matters. I think sometimes it is a combination of tool and reloader, how they mate together.

Even though I have not had similar problems with you, I am all ears.......... I believe it may because I have been lucky and I really need to re-evaluate what I am doing. I appreciate your input.

I am a more casual shooter that most, I like to think of it as pactical. My serious reloading days are passe'.

TR gave some really great advice on case prep. I have a bunch of case prep tools, definiately a MUST for "highly' Accurate loads.

Again, I think what is important is Knowledge and biggest knowledge of all, is knowing yourself, what works and what does not work. Equipment is secondary.

on max loads I am 100% with you............ men needing a sense of needing to be well hung, will go max plus............ expensive, hard on the gun, hard on the person, and will make a person a terrible shot in no time.
