My heart goes out to the people affected by what this nut done. Just goes to show you don't need a gun. No doubt in my mind it was an assult type fully automatic high capacity van. There most certainly should be background checks for these types of dangerious vehicles. Wonder how the "snowflakes" are going to spin this.

Well in my 35+ yrs of reloading ,last night,  I had my 1'st stupid moment. I was measuring some of my 30/378 cases for shoulder bump with my Hornady Contricity gage. To get good measurements I always remove the spent primers to get a better measurement. To do this with my 30/378 I have to remove the primer with my Lee manual deprimer as my press deprimer will not accept the 30/378 case. I chose 2 cases from my lot. Put my Lee deprime rod in the case ,gave a slight tap and the primer dropped in my hand. Picked up the 2'nd case and done the same, only I chose the wrong case and it had a live primer. Gave a small tap and BANG the primer went off. The force of the explosion sent the primer out of the case through my 4'th finger and hit my little finger and fractured it. What a shocking moment. I was in a daze. I went to the emg at our local hospital and they fixed me up. Got a real sore hand.
 I'm posting this stupid moment to just have all you guys remember the force that a single primer can have. I was lucky that my eyes weren't hurt. I always wear safety glasses when I prime cases, but here I was depriming spent primers, or so I thought, so I didn't have them on. What a stupid dummy moment on my part. I guess you can never check enough.

Reloading / Pressure reading

  For more than 35 yrs i've been reloading. I always watched for the " normal" pressure signs, bolt lift, ejactor marks etc. I also used pressure ring measurement in an effort to read pressure. When doing this with belted mags I always used the measurement just north of the belt  on a fired factory round (average of 3 fired rounds) to establish a standard. Well I was reading on the Hodgdon site that they recommend measuring the belt on belted mags and use the measurement from a Virgin factory round as a standard and not going beyond .0006-7. I can't see how this can work, espically the measurement of an unfired factory round. At least this is what I took away from their article. What do you guys think.

Has anyone tried RL 33 in the 270 Wea or the 257 Wea. I'm looking for somewhere to start with 150 gr and 120 gr bullets in these calibers.
