I received some .45Colt home loads once...


...can you see it?

The force that crammed the .454 bullet into the .44Mag case had actually bent the case (on the left):

Took me a minute to spot that. Surely they must have thought "this doesn't feel right" when trying to force that in.

I'm mentoring a probationary member of our club at the moment he is a new shooter all though I have known him for several years. I'm taking him through the basics of reloading on a one to one basis. Its good because I'm having to do every thing from scratch its reminding me that I should not take anything about reloading for granted no matter how long you have been at it or how experienced you may think you are one mistake is a mistake to many.
Good advice, no matter how you reload every case should get a visual for correct powder charge, I set up this simple light, it's a flexible LED light from the pound shop and a rechargeable battery. Saves holding a torch.
