    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 ...

    Ah. Such transmitters usually jam all other signal traffic around them too...

    If bullets are heads, can we have bullet head space for the distance the bullet has to move to engage with the rifling ;-)
