    Trial and error

    So, after a very successful first attempt at reloading, I ran into a few issues when trying to seat some projectiles a bit deeper.
    Try not to be jelaous of my "insane skills". It's really just me being awesome and not everyone can be as awesome as me.

    The best part of this was the trouble shooting session and actually learning from mistakes.

    Anyone else experienced such amazing skill or am I the only one who can produce such masterpieces?

    I think many of us have that sort of awesome once in a while - we just don't take pics of them

    @SlimySquirrel

    With results like this I'm sure your well on your way to becoming a very good reloader

    I've achieved that level of awesomeness on multiple occasions in my reloading career

    Pretty sure I've got more of this awesomeness left in me too

    Cheers

    Looks like a new chambering, but seriously we all have a few problems from time to time.

    At least your awesomeness has a bullet in it, there's been a time or two when mine doesn't get that far.

    That is interruptions. You know, ... the important stuff, ... like "Would someone in particular like this?" The type of question where they've just walked right past said someone to ask me.

    Just wait until you fill one with no powder! Or put the primer in upside down!, Or too much lube and the neck goes all wrinkly! Fun times

    Yeah, when it goes well, I get delusional and start dreaming of reloading an imaginary custom .260 with some sleek pills.... then reality sets in when I see the "laughing round".
