I would really be amiss if I did not mention ' Record Keeping '.
This is a metallic cartridge reloaders best friend . It tells him/her about handloads that worked and ones that didn't . It keeps track of how many times you reloaded a metallic cartridge so you do not end up with case separations or case fractures . One of my pet rifles is a .220 Swift . I love the firearm and cartridge but I really have to watch the case neck thickness for thinning . This is exactly the reason to keep a Reloaders Log . Even though to the naked eye your 44 mag case looks great after 2 or 3 full loads there could be unseen problems , bringing us to lot numbers . The idea is to keep track on paper so you don't get sloppy .
Wow ! There seems to be allot more to this reloading thing then pulling a lever and having a loaded metallic cartridge pop out .
