YeeeeeHaaaaa! Thanks guys... Woooo Hooo... I just loaded a dozen 223 and it worked flawlessly, just as jerry45 said. And Chris in VA... I did set them up again exactly per the specs.

This is a beautiful thing. I have been thrashing around with attempts at loading 30-30 for months ... attempting to replicate the experience of loading handgun cartridges and the bullets either falling in or.. not fitting.

What is interesting is that I spent hours searching several good gun blogs like TFR and others on the topic of bullets dropping in ... 30-30's. I found many novice reloaders having similar experiences.. and never found the straight, sweet truth before tonight... from you guys.

I have had the dies, bullets, powder, primers for 30-30, 30-06, 243, and 223.. all sitting collecting dust waiting for this great moment.

Thanks again.

Shovel.... Paul
