They were already primed, sized, and belled.... All I had to do was stuff some powder and a bullet in em.... It was gonna be 15. But I WAY over crimped two of them.

I was just wondering how he fit ALL that powder into thirteen 9mm cases...
I guess he cleared it up, when he admitted to loading fifteen...[Pot]
No wonder he's worried about KABOOM!!!
Compressed loads. [facepalm]
I read Hoser's posts in the hopes he will share his sources for powder...and because I like the pictures [Coffee]
Got some Hercules 2400 so I'm gonna try it in my 44 Mag. I got an OLD reloading book, says to start at 18g and 19.5 is the max, I'm starting at 17g just to be on the safe side.
This powder was made before Hercules was bought by Alliant, I got this can from a trusted associate so I know it was stored in a cool, dry place.
Sized and deprimed my 9mm, 45-70 and a few hundred rounds of .308.
Started priming .308 only to discover that 90% of my .308 brass is showing signs of overpressure and is ruined. I think. The primer pockets are intruded into by the brass and primers don't fit.
I'm using a bare minimum load according to hodgdon. 42.1gr varget/168 SMK, and it's producing sub Moa groups in my LR 308 and my savage 10fcp yet I just junked a few hundred cases after 2 and 3 uses. I'm not amused.
going to try and fab up my own 650 spent primer chutes. Do i use the torch or plastic and epoxy?? Guess we shall see. Probably take 2-3 mock ups before i commit.
Last night I cranked out just over 1,000 pcs of nickel 300 Whisper/Blackout brass for a buddy in Florida.
