    No, no rings as in shiny/dark/shiny again.

    Bore is perfectly shiny chrome lined.

    Nope, no loose spots.

    Like I said, the outside measures like I listed above.

    The other rounds I have loaded will not be used much and when they are used, they won't be bumped.

    Yeah, I saw the "never use reloads" response while at the office today and wanted to comment now when I got home but see that's been done.

    More people have KB's from factory ammo I think than they do with their OWN reloads.

    Sure, you can get cheap reloads from some hillbilly that probably KB a lot in other people's guns but that's because he doesn't give a crap.

    Well, I'll start loading again and use the minimum that lee suggests.

    For spooky quiet maybe I'll start on that suppressed Nagant revolver...

    I have been reloading for over 15 years, and like said above with the proper equipment (dillon 550 w/powder check die, etc.) I havn't had a squib in many years either..You can get considerably better ammo by reloading vs. store bought ammo, IMO and when it costs under $4.00 per box/50, for 9mm and around $5.00 a box for .45 the savings is worth it. but if your afraid of reloads, please buy factory ammo.. I have been alot more saftey oriented since seeing all the KB's lately on Glock Talk and some other sites.. I do not shoot on public ranges either to limit the possibility of accidents.. Glad your allright and no one got hurt.. I see alot of people on these forums bashing the use of reloads, .. I think it's kind of insulting to those of us who have been reloading safely for years.. if your careful and minimize your distractions at the bench you can reproduce the quality of the best factory ammo or better, you can tailor your loads to reduce your recoil etc... It is possible to get a bad factory round, not very common but it can happen. Please be careful, everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!

    If Lee made a 4 hole progressive I'd probably go a lot slower and pay more attention to each and every round.

    With the turret press you sort of get into a rhythm and that's probably where the problem occurred.

    Get a progressive press like a Dillon 650 that has a powder checker and does not allow you to turn the press backwards.
    That pretty much ensures that every round has powder unless you don't put a battery in the powder checker...

    I'm glad to hear that the damage was mininal (to you and your gun). Am I correct in assuming that you were shooting reloads?
