About to start reloading Quick Question.

The only issues I've had in this area is hangfires due to a primer up condition. The airspace problem was restricted to pistol ammo that a bullet had been pushed in and negated the valuable airspace. This condition created a small bomb. Then there were problems...

I'm just not convinced you can create a light load that duplicates ballistics of a full house load...

That's true Jim, it doesn't produce the same ballistics, far from them, but for plinking you cant go wrong, of course you have to wind the rear sight up to compensate for the bullet drop etc, but you can get the required accuracy.

I don't use cast pills either, just normal FMJ pills, but I,m at present loading up a cast Bullet load for my LEC Carbine, to compare the results with FMJ.
