That last paragraph is always the advice I give novice reloaders. You know there is going to be trouble when they comment on another powder being cheaper because you use less.Obviously, the torch was simply silly drama, but loading can be done pretty simply.
Before I could find dies, I used to neck size 7.62 X 54r by tapping the case into a greased hole in a piece of angle iron that I filed out to the right size with a jewelers file.
I think everyone should load a box of cartridges with a LEE loader kit and a mallet once in their life.
It was a good illustration of using powder that fills the case. Like Varget in a .223. Most loads actually compress the powder. I don't think it is possible to overload. Same with the 20 grain charge of AA#9 in a .44MAG.

That's bait.Reloading manuals are just another man's opinion and a violation of my rights.
Fancy stuff never works right.Knew I didn’t need all that fancy stuff
Link to it?That's bait.
Anybody else remember the "boom goes the dynamite" reloading thread ?
One of the funniest threads ever.
I have a kit from Rocky Mountain Cartridge for loading brass shotgun shells. Insert the dowel into the shell, place the primer on a clean, FLAT surface (they provide a steel 2" square), place the shell over the primer, and hammer away! (I always pucker up during that part!) I've probably popped 5-6 in several hundred reloads. A good reminder to ALWAYS wear your PPE!I remember reading an article many years ago describing how to reload shotgun shells with a hammer, nail, and a dowel rod and a block of wood. Dippers for measuring the powder and shot. Can't remember which magazine, but it was a popular mainstream one.
