    the hard rules still apply
    #1 try to find data from at least 3 different places preferably one being a real paper manual
    #2 if unknown rifle..start low and slowly/carefully work up
    #3 double check anything that MIGHT be wrong...like that box of .270 projectiles that has a couple of .284 ones in it or 130grn with a 140 in it....WHY the other manufacturers didnt follow Noslers colour code for calibre is one of lifes mysteries and missed oppertunities.
    #4 peer down into charged cases before seating projectiles......even my old eyes can spot something not right .

    and the one that really seems to be forgotton in this memememe now now now now PC woke upsidedown world start low and work up..DO NOT go straight to maximum load or someone elses maximum load..all rifles are different,whats safe in one can be dangerously hot in another.
