    Whats a .224, is that a Weatherby Magnum?

    Just the diameter of the projectile, many people who reload from time to time call the "223's" "224", unless i am wrong once again. LOL.

    Always check the bunghole first. It's not like marrage where you have to work your way up (down??) to the bunghole.

    Yeah, gotcha. Should've known that, I reload myself... and for that calibre (.22-250)
    Thanks!

    8mms in 7.62 cases they were boat tails so they went in. Thought the press was a bit hard to work! Good workout for the inertia puller.

    When I was using a powder thrower , I put a strip of masking tape on the hopper and wrote the powder in it , you can also keep the hopper empty when not in use as well .
    Easy mistakes , you just need a system that is easy and you stick to , we have all wasted a bit of powder , in the Opps whats the powder in there ?
