[QUOTE="Jokostel, post: 1205702, member: 39379"] If in doubt at all, have that chamber cast... a proper gunsmith can let you know what you're dealing with. A bit of cash spent on knowing is fare better than a catastrophic failure or death... or at the very least, money wasted on mis-loaded ammo. Even folks that load thousands of rounds a year ( I used to be part of this crowd... now hundreds a year) run into enough issues as you guys already mentioned... Take your time... read twice... and measure at least as many... and IF you run a dump rather than individual charges, measure every 5th charge or so... lack of powder in the stack means different pressure on the dump... and depending on how that powder settles.... possibly a massive change in charge. KISS is best.gun) [/QUOTE]
