[QUOTE="Frog4aday, post: 2729597, member: 9308"] 1) When using W296 or H110 (exactly the same powders, by the way) for .357 Magnum loads, you MUST use small pistol [B]magnum[/B] primers. (Standard primers didn't ignite the powder, jamming my revolver with a bullet stuck in the forcing cone. I proved it three times. Yep, need those magnum primers.) 2) Buy a kinetic bullet puller; at some point you'll need to use it. 3) One powder on reloading bench at a time. Check you are using the correct powder BEFORE starting & then re-verify it was the correct powder again AFTER you are done. (Also, don't leave powder stored in your powder thrower.) 4) Visually verify your cases have the same amount of powder in each before seating bullets. Double charges happen (.38 Special & .45 Colt especially come to mind.) And empty cases happen, too. Both are BAD. [/QUOTE]
