Haven’t reloaded since 1980’s. Have purchased equipment and components - just need to set up an area.

I have read so much in the past year. I must have been an idiot way back. Didn’t anneal cases. Didn’t turn necks. Didn’t deburr primer flash holes. Didn’t group cases by weight. Never even heard of Lapua cases. Must have been only by the grace of God that my cartridges fired, never missed a deer, and the Partition bullets tore them up.

All I did was lube the case, deprime and resize, clean primer pocket, prime (and with the press, not a hand tool), charge with powder and seat the bullet. Choose to match the OAL of the reload to factory loads - using the eyeball method to compare. What a dummy!
