[QUOTE="Pulp, post: 1618136, member: 14195"] Reloads, sad to say. 200 grain SWC over what was supposed to be 5 grains of Tite-Group. I pulled 35 of the bullets yesterday and weighed the total powder and divided by 35. I got a 5.2 grain average. I'm in the learning curve on a progressive, and apparently still have some learnin' to go. Right after it blew I pulled 5 bullets and weighed each charge individually, numbers ran from 4.9 to 5.5. 5.2 is max for TiteGroup. That's downright terrible. I'm not gonna mention the brand of the press, as I'm not prone to badmouth tools until I know it's the tools fault and not the operators fault. [/QUOTE]
