good article.

I once met a fellow shooting 357 mag with 125 jhp and blue dot.
I've used that combo before, but this guy had unreal pressure signs.
So I told him to go home and pull the bullets. I took a few with me to pull.
I was expecting to find the wrong powder or wrong weight, but everything was correct.
(primer type/brand were unknown.)

Good article worth saving for reference.   That stainless "blowed up" lever rifle looks like a Marlin 336SS.  Too bad he didn't state the lever gun story.   Also does anybody use the Redding Comp. shellholder set?   Is this mainly for bolt gun match ammo?   I've been using standard cal specific Redding and RCBS shell holders.

I've used the comp shell holders on my lee press with great results.   Very accurate shoulder bump.  Just be careful with not using too much lube.
