chuckell......I don't feel anyone on here meant to offend you in any way. We know nothing about your level of experience with reloading, and were only trying to make sure that safe practices were used. Perhaps if you could have given us a little more info on your backround with reloading, we could have been a little more helpful. Nobody here is going to lecture you about anything. Only have your best interest at heart, really. This is a great place to gather information, and have a good time. Lots of very knowledgeable people on here. Hope you choose to stick around................PA.
