But it's fun. wink

I remember my very first .38 Special reloads assembled with an old Lee Loader. I stuck the Ruger Blackhawk out in front of me, turned my head away from it and covered my face and head as well as possible with the other arm, pulled the trigger and it went bang! And lo and behold, the gun was in one piece and I was still alive. That was 46 years ago and it's been a great hobby ever since. grin


Just use some common sense, stay focused on what you're doing at the loading bench and you'll do fine.


Gunnery, gunnery, gunnery.
Hit the target, all else is twaddle!
