    Hope you get a favourable response from RCBS. I have found them excellent on 2 occassions. When I enquired about my Chargemaster overruning they sent me a complete motor and dispenser tube to try....

    Yep we all have our opinion on the subject but it has been done to death on several occassions and become a broken record. At any rate it looks to be still asleep except for my poking it a bit.

    I don't rely on velocity alone and use all info available to sense/predict pressure. Chrony obviously compared against loading charts. QL analysis and of course physical signs. I don't stress too...
