You ought to add this to your signature. That way, it will save you time and not have to type it out with every post.

If you pull the bullets I would definately re-size the necks.

Big country.........why don't I just abbreviate it and put "Old Fart." That would fit me better. I'll try not to bring this up again.

I am just giving you a hard time. You seem to be helping alot of people here and thats cool.

I weigh every charge but that's just me.

Scott, I tend to laugh at guys weighing every charge. But then I find myself sometimes polishing every case with brasso if it's not up to standards and sealing every primer with laquer.

Bottom line is I guess we all have our little standards and rituals...most don't make much if any difference...like the 3 hours I spent today "deburring the INSIDE of the flash hole in 500 270 cases. That is about as silly an exercise as one can find. When I got done I looked inside some new unfired 45 ACP brass to see just how bad they needed "deburring." Guess what. There were no burrs.

Color me dumb.

I have to say, I did weighed evey charge. I am looking for a charge that want kill my shoulder too bad anyway.

Recoil? What rifle are you loading for?

Know this that the fastest way to reduce recoil is to simply shoot lighter bullets. Recoil goes up fast as bullet weight increases. On the other hand, varying powder charge a grain or two for any given bullet won't make much difference.

IF you can pull those bullets without dmaging them, so you can put them back into the ammo after you weigh the charges, then do it!

I don't weigh every charge if the powder in use is one that meters uniformly in my old Redding Master powder measure. Mostly, ball powders and some small-grain extruded powders like IMR 4320 do this quite well. Using such powders, I will "sample-check" every fifth round. However, I rarely load more than a max of 60-80 rounds at a session any more, and then only certain calibers. I WILL weigh every charge when using large-grain powders like IMR 4064, or H4831, etc. What I do on these is throw them with the measure set 1-2 grains under the selecteed amount per the powder scale, and then bring each charge up to snuff in the scale pan using a powder trickler. Admittedly slower than what can be done with the new powder dispensing units, but I am in no hurry.

And I do have some very accurate rifle loads in which only a half-grain difference in powder weight can result inan inch or more difference in group size. Believe it or not!

Are you guys reloading for accuracy or just happy hitting a pie plate at 50 Yards. One guy says he spent 3 hours deburring flash holes but doesn't weigh each charge?? C'mon. Someone else says 1 or 2 grains doesn't make a difference.Bull!*%$ !! You obviously haven't gone to the range with one case having 2 grains less powder and shot at the same target. I will guarrentee it makes a difference. Oh if we're loading close to max loads and one has 2 more grains than max. Better set that one off with a pull string tied to the trigger.Yoo're about to find out what that little hole on your action is for. The gun isn't dangerous it's the guy that doesn't give respect to what he is doing that is dangerous. Stay off the range I shoot at!!
