Personally, in my opinion, if you are that stupid you should not own a spoon let alone an FAC.
This particular argument is that of someone clutching at straws during an argument they are losing if you ask me.
This said I was taking a mate though reloading .303 at the weekend and he kept forgetting the charge weight (using electronic scales) so I demonstrated just how much powder a .303 case would take. I suspect that for some a powder scale that just needs setting and matching is the way forward.
Gordon Bennett - if he can't remember the charge weight, can he write it - and read what he's written?
I used to use 41 grains of Reloader15, and I had to check my old documents to make sure, but my excuse is that it's more than 10 years since I last used it.
I guess it'd take more than a UK referendum to get the case head renamed as the case heel ...
