    Hey Baz, Do you clean your brass? I always add a little more for the cases to allow for power, media, and time to prepare each case (I even do this to range brass)

    It took me about a year to pay for my press and dies but GravelBen it really depends on how much you shoot, how often, etc. I have found this to be VERY helpful for that [URL="https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B5JgEhaQUH_Lb1hjSFZnSjdhMlE/edit"]https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets...gid=1982201850 I saved it and I use it all the time

    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms
    Rule 8: Be sure that the barrel is clear from obstructions before shooting.

    My most important rule: HAVE FUN!
