[QUOTE="jhendri2, post: 22099, member: 217"] Ken, A quick question, you stated "the maximum shoulder angle for relatively trouble-free handloadling seems to be 30°", can you explain this further. I have not had any trouble reloading with AI or SSK (40 degree) shoulders. Also, as stated by Darryl in another thread most large LR rounds are improved to 35 degree shoulder angles. I thought the steeper shoulders were easier to reload due to less case stretch and my brass normally lasted longer. The rounds I had the most problems with was shallow shouldered cartridges (esp 220 swift) because of case stretch, it seemed like the cases would not last as long. Am I missing something? Thanks in advance for your help. Jim [/QUOTE]
