picking up speed

[svandamme]

Ran 200 rounds of 230 grain ball, at 6.2 grain of powder.

What have i learned:

- Don't tumble deprimed brass with corn cob. it's a PITA to pick the corncob out of the flashholes

- I want that roller handle. Must have for bigger batches.

- pay attention when picking up primers with the pickup tube..
had a couple the wrong way..

- Must pay attention on the downstroke, forgetting the primer is tedious as i have to disassemble the bullet again and start over.

- Couple of crushed primers, not sure how that happened, maybe i didn't push down on the downstroke enough, primer not seated properly and then banged up when the shellplate rotated..

- Pain in the neck to get the powder charge dialed in.. But once dialed, it throws reliable enough .. I do look in the shell before seating the bullet, but the powder check is my 1st line of defense.
