    Load a few rounds like 1gr apart from low to high so that you have at least done a precautionary check and established a known safe operating range to experiment in. People ask for recipes all the...

    Just remember brass get work hardened with firing and with each firing it'll have more and more springback. One of the main reasons people anneal with a AMP annealer is to get the most consistent...

    Don't know if you'll get much advantage from the RCBS, I had the same problem with my RCBS and new Norma brass and GM210m. I changed primer and it went in smoother and the load shot better. Will use...
