1. Don't crimp anything smaller than .375 H&H. If your bullets set back, your dies are screwed up.
2. If you load a large quantity of some caliber, buy an automatic case trimmer.
Don't blame me. I voted for Trump.
Democrats would burn this country to the ground, if they could rule over the ashes.

Only have the one type of powder you are currently using on your bench at a time.
Don't just be a survivor, be a competitor.

Don't get in a hurry.

Dont drink whiskey while reloading This! Stick to King Edward cigars, vodka tonics, and beer when reloading. Whiskey on the reloading bench is just dangerous.

The best powder to use for rifle cartridges is the one that most nearly fills the case. When I first started reloading for my 270 Win I used the Jack O'Connor load of 60 grains of H4831, and it will almost fill a case. Never having done that before, I consulted my neighbor, a long time reloader, and he said that I'd blow my rifle up if I did that. He used a mild load of 4064 in the 270, one that did not come close to filling up a case, and was unfamiliar with H4831. I gave it some thought, and figured O'Connor knew more about the 270 than my neighbor did, and I've used a case full of H4831 ever since.

Use a small pick to check for stretching/incipient case head separation.

Get a digital powder dispenser. Now that I think about it, that's probably been the best reloading decision I've made yet.
There's no fuqing way I'd consider going to back the manual powder dispenser. Just about to buy one on sale at MidwayUSA.

Learned by guess and by golly. Paid attention to the Lyman manual. Didn’t know anyone to get tips from. The inna net was still 30 years in the future for me. Lot of the tips posted here I learned along the way and they are mostly fundamental methodology for me.
I am..........disturbed.
