    Do you have a hand primer?

    I should clarify that the bang happened after a primer was upside down in the little hand held primer thing and got primed anyway. We got it back out, but it got stuck in the armature of the Hester after removal, and went bang.

    It just proves that every single time, every single step...make sure what is happening.

    We'll get it right....just the learning curve part is gonna take some time, and Lee selling "complete" kits that are not actually complete. I'm excited about reloading and look forward to getting all this stuff down.

    Haven't been following your reloading threads OB, but what kind of equipment are you working with?

    Heya KS.

    I don't have any threads about it, but a Hester Super 3 was "donated" to us, in boxes of unorganized shit, and no info about the press..... and a Lee breech lock challenger kit.

    FYI... if you go to give your Lady a kiss...and notice something that smells similar to like... bug spray..... don't say, "Hey, I see you put some bug spray on"


    ...she might say something like " I tried the such and such perfume"

    Just sayin'.
