One thing for sure. Experience cannot be purchased.

If a person as experienced all the hotrod, over pressure signs, they have experience. I mean we can talk about it, we can read about it in a manual, and even see little pretty pictures. But experience is earned, sometimes the hard way. I mean, if you was a race team owner, would you hire someone that has taken the safe "book" way thier whole career? Or would you hire someone that has a few bumps and bruises from life experiences?

I have experienced most of em. And still learning a thing or two all the time reloading top grade ammo. I feel no need to expose my reloading sins on this thread, and feel no need to knock someone with experience. As long as its not a habit.

If a guy comes on here and and constantly tells us he is having to knock open his bolt with a rubber mallet, I am going to wonder about this guys capability to reload safely.
