    Reloading Notes

    Caution!
    Had to pull 20 odd 308 loads recently, loaded with AR2206H. Hdy Collet puller did a great job of lifting projectiles out. Tapped powder into receptacle and placed each case into a loading tray. Decided to eyeball them with small torch shining down inside brass. Lo and behold, there was still powder in the bottom of the case. More rapping on the side of receptacle failed to dislodge. So a small bladed screwdiver was twirled gently inside each against case head. On average I collected an additional 1.5gn of powder per case. What a diff that would have made with a near max load on top of it!!

    There's lots of reloading tips and tricks spread among various threads on this forum. Feel free to add here. Maybe this thread will become useful enough to be a sticky.
