I tried out my new to me lube/sizer and was excited about having loaded rounds that weren’t sticky with LLA. The lube in it is soft and tacky but I’m thrifty and using it and learning.
I’ve been making little substitutions for years. How many times do you find the exact bullet in a recipe with the powder you want to use? Anyway I set out expecting a mild to weak load with the starting charge.
Here’s where I deviated. I seated a little bit deeper than the minimum oal in the recipe. I substituted my home cast tc profile boolet into data for a round nose. I figured the blunt truncated cone shape could be seated deeper than a round nose, so I should be good. Until I wasn’t...
So I’m fortunate I’m unscathed. Praise the Lord!
Be careful, and wear safety glasses, especially when testing a new load.
