I knew this would be not only informational, but fun as well, and I haven't been let down.
Here's what sparked this little gem. A friend of a friend and I shared some time together recently. My buddy that I reload for brought that fact up. His friend, which I know of but don't associate with, began espousing his couple years of reloading prowess. Oh, he had a few terms correct here and there and actually dotted a few "I's" and crossed a few "T's". But I know him as being full of shit, hence I steer clear of him.
The mouth at one point asked me if I Neck Size or FL Size. Told him I've ONLY FL Sized since I started in the late 70's. I've only heard of the issues you can have going another route, I haven't experienced it, and really never wanted to, and still don't.
We all know there's a number of ways to skin this cat regarding reloading. I tend to stick to the KISS method. Seems to work and for me, it's been enjoyably uneventful.
So I told him to look into what "Those Guy's" do. You know, the 'current' best of the best. I decided to take my own advice and found that gem of a video by Erik. Found it gratifying to hear the short, to the point responses, and thought I'd share it to remind us of the basics, and to inform those new to the game that it doesn't have to be hard. Keep it simple and stick to the basics and go from there.
We've got a ton of new people coming here, and yes, it does get taxing going down the same roads over and over even with the excellent stickies we have regarding reloading steps. So just a bit of proof positive information, again, to show keeping it simple does have it's advantages.
Carry on.
