    I´ve now got a bit more used to re-loading with BP. But I still like to keep my loads as precise as with nitro. I place each empty case on the digital scale and press "zero". Then I throw the charge and weigh the full case again. Anything over or under +/- 0.5 grains is rejected. This leaves a recurring and precise space for the grease and the bullet to be seated. So shooting is now a lot more precise. Think I´ll be able to compete with both the M`71 AND the Werder soon. Think I´ll have to keep both.

    AND ... have now got the custom bullet moulds for both the M`71 and the Werder (made from my Cerro castings). They make seating much more satisfactory and the finished product even looks almost professional.
