If I have the option, I like to select the powder load such that a double charge will overfill the case. This avoids a double charge situation, based on advice from an old reloader. I have never done this except deliberately, but it is a simple precaution. He also used a paperclip, with a bent end to feel the bottom of the case perimeter; to reject worn cases. I have found some tired cases using this, and it isn't visible outside.

I thought you only loaded 6.5mm for the big guy. A .243 is big enough to be effective, good choice.

I have tried casting my own tips, and using gas checks on a reduced load; but I'm not too happy with it thus far. Need to commit more time to it I guess....

Liked the post, good information.
