Thanks for the advice guys it is appreciated.

I have some problems with the abreviations in my Lee manual:

E.g Am I right to assume that OAL or Min OAL means the Over All Length of the cartridge with the bullet fitted??

If that is the case then why is there different lengths for different bullet weights and powers??

At the bottom of each page in the Lee manual is a "C" which says = Compressed charge and come after the power weight e.g. 22.2c power??

Also the press unit has PSI and CUP?? what do these mean?
