[QUOTE="memtb, post: 2773640, member: 75451"] I had a pretty big one, when I bought a bunch of yard sale equipment and had virtually no clue had to how to use the Ideal powder dispenser …..in my defense, I was 18 I think, and had no one to train/assist me. Prior to that….my only experience was a Lee Loader, “even a caveman can do it”! 🤔 I didn’t realized that’s there were 3 slide bars for adjustment…..and I was adjusting all 3 together. That made for a very deep, narrow opening. I got a throw which was very close to target weight, and never made additional throws to verify. Thank goodness I was pushing those 148 grain WC’s through a Model 28 Smith (N Frame)…..as a large variance in charge weights when using Bullseye makes for some huge pressure variations. Like the young idiot I was, I was shooting double action rapid fire. The shots varied from near normal, to likely beyond .357 mag pressures, to only a primer firing! Thankfully, the primer only fire was followed by a near normal load……pushing the stuck bullet from the barrel. I learned a whole bunch of things “not” to do in that first outing! memtb [/QUOTE]
