A West Virginian should appreciate walking to school 5 miles, up hill, in the snow each way, barefoot on the Way to school...
seating a bullet, I make a dummy round... seat the bullet barely in the case...
chamber it in the rifle, and ram it home with the bolt...
the chamber then tells me max length of the case..
set my seating die on that, and then back its setting off say 1/8 or less of a turn...
try that in the chamber...
if slides in with minimal resistance...call it good...
pull the bullet out of the case and put it back in with the rest of the crowd..
and load it up....
a friend gave me a Redding Micrometer die to try...
I tried it and gave it back, and told him I appreciated the offer...
He also gave me a digital electronic scale set up to try for a week..
gave that back also.... when I could have had it for free...
I prefer my old 505 beam scale and Lee Powder dippers and my RCBS trickler...
turned down a free Dillion 550 and 650 press....preferring the way I self taught myself
with the Rock Chucker...
If that seems hillbilly, I guess it is.... I was born in Bluefield....
