    I drop straight from the mold into bucket of water. This minimizes the time variation. I tumble lube. I let my bore do the sizing. It gets it perfect every time.

    For years I have been shooting round balls in an H&R single shot .357Magnum. The problem of 'too much' case capacity is solved by seating the projectile very deep. The same should be true when...

    If you load mixed shot loads it will be better not to mix them. Loading the smaller shot first and then topping off with the larger shot will produce better patterns.

    More likely to be killed in a traffic accident or drunken brawl than by a bear. But then paranoid hysteria sells better than reality.
