That makes it easier to spot a missing or double charge. Don't rely on any one source of loading data. Verify load data you see posted on forums with written manuals. Even verify a written manual with another source. Start with a straight wall pistol round before graduating to rifle rounds. Find someone to observe loading so you can see the process. But, read the manual first to make sure they are not teaching you bad habits or shortcuts that will get you hurt. Go ahead and take ownership in the possibility that you are not going to save money reloading. Most won't. But you may get a better quality product for your firearms. If you are a high volume shooter, you might get there.  But that usually makes us buy more equipment!!!!</blockquote>
