Thanks for any ideas.
Don't forget to buy a case guage for each caliber if you don't already have them. It makes it so easy to pick out any rounds that
might have a high primer, dinged rim or not taper crimped properly. Next to the primer flip tray its also the best money spent on
any piece of reloading equipment.
Recommend eyeballing your powder as you place the bullet to be sure its charged. A squib load during rapid fire or in a subgun
can be costly.
Enjoy...Ive had mine for a few years and love every minute of using it. Loading for a couple of subguns and several pistol and rifle calibers, it has more than paid for itself.
I agree with a post up the board about the ball handle. I think its much smoother to operate and gives a better feel when setting the primers.
Good Luck, and by all means "Think Safety"
If your not sure...STOP!!!! pull the bullet and dump it out and check what you think might be wrong.
