Ammo Reloading

[kawi kid]

Depends upon hot loads or moderate loads and if you heat treat your brass and also if you are doing neck sizing only or if you are doing entire case sizing.

Entire case sizing weakens the case over time.

however, neck sizing can allow a case to swell just below the neck.

Give and take.

This is what I do. I only neck size for shooting ground hogs. If I was shooting match ammo I would be full case sizing.

I get it now. You intentionally mis-spell as part of your interwebz persona.

I recently bought a reloading kit from hornady I still need to buy a few more things such as dies case trimmer and a micrometer. (i don't think that's what its called the thing to measure the cases.) Lol. I've been reading hornadys book that came with it before starting. Thanks for the info guys

I use a digital caliper from Harbor Freight. http://www.harborfreight.com/6-inch-digital-caliper-47257.html

Works just fine for measuring cases, it even has a thumb screw that you can lock down the jaws and use it like a go/no-go gauge and save the batteries.
