Rules for my RCBS Chargemaster #1. Close hopper drain #2. See #1

Would it be reasonable to conclude that if you have primer deterioration to the point of malfunction, you probably already have a problem with deteriorated powder, making the primer deterioration a non factor?

Pro 2000 is a 5 station progressive with interchangeable tool heads.

The Pro 2000 uses a proprietary primer feeder system that uses preloaded primer strips that you insert into a slot on the press. CCI manufactured the preloaded “APS” strips until RCBS abandoned that design on their newer presses. Your alternatives now are to prime the cases with a hand primer...

The collet is shaped the way it is for a reason, or reasons. 1. Flat side of the collet goes toward the hammer head. Two mating flat surfaces are more stable than flat and round mating surfaces. If reversed, the rounded surface of the collet would tend to wear the inner rim of the hammer head...

You’re telling us that it’s more convenient and less aggravating to totally disassemble and reassemble the puller for each individual cartridge than it is to work it into the 3 piece collet without disassembling and reassembling the puller? I don't get the part about the rim battering the...

If reloading is your business, then the answer to “Do I need a new powder funnel” is “Only if your business is suffering for lack of a new powder funnel.” If reloading is your hobby, the answer to “Do I need (fill in the blank)?” is always a resounding “Yes!” You’re welcome.

When the manufacturer lists a litany of cautions about this, that and the other, I’ll pass, thanks. But, if beautiful and cheap are what you’re looking for, knock yourself out. ymmv

In the “Real World Example” part of the linked article, the author talks about different performance with the same canister of powder stored in a humid environment vs when stored in a drier environment for extended periods of time. I don't doubt his expeience, but it leads me to ask: 1. Did he...

I wondered if that's what he meant but confused cosmology and cosmetology. I guess there could be a connection between cosmetology and a telescope, but it sure sounds creepy. 🤣

jwst?

I live on the Gulf Coast and make a point to never reload when humidity exceeds 100%. ;)

I'd reload in the Bahamas until the $50K ran out.

Yes, you do. GeoDude's post #13. ;)

My loading time to shooting time ratio is probably about the same as my cooking time to eating time ratio. I don’t spend a lot of time (none) calculating either one, but I will say life wouldn’t be as much fun without them. ymmv

I've used it for 9mm 124gr and 45ACP 230 gr. Very similar to W231 in my experience. ymmv

Sorry, I should have been clearer. I was talking about smoothing out any internal "bullet stop" ridges from the cannelure, not smoothing out external dings or external cannelure remnants.

As for internal signs of factory canneluring, keep in mind what Shooterbob mentioned earlier. Internal pressure when fired, maybe once, maybe multiple times, could have smoothed them out.

And they do not. Good advice! Put something in the shopping cart and you'll find they only take payment methods that are hard to reverse.

I've been told by a widely known anonymous expert in the field of canneluring that those marks are used to identify defective cases. You can send them all to me for proper disposal. You're welcome.:)
