One piece of knowledge I must pass on to you is about the extra tall shot bottles. Using the smaller standard bottles for shot and powder is fine. Using that tall bottle for shot without a `bottle brace` is asking for the attachment cap on the top of the press to break off (only lightly welded on) and I can`t tell you how much fun about 15 lbs. of 7 1/2 shot dumped on the floor can be!Robert
