After all, I can't afford to hunt Africa right now, but I still read the books, enjoy the chat, look at pictures, and wish and hope. Dream on, Brother!

I'm guessing he's using SR 4759 and low pressure, but I'm skeptical that his performance will be adequate. That was mean... If you doubt the efficiency of reduced loads...check out the smile on Jamie's face in that pic.... I'm just sayin....

Make sure you use plenty of case lube before activating the ram. Small base dies can be tight and you wouldn't want any galling. Graphite for the mouth is messy, but it makes insertion smoother. High pressure may stretch the case,and you'll get no friction in seating the projectile. At that point, I recommend discarding the old for a new, unstretched case.
