"There is no way you could stay up with me on speed for reloading. "
4, I'm sure you believe that and I'd be happy to prove you wrong if we both worked within .1 gr. per charge but Minn is a long way from the southern mountians of NC so I guess you'll never get corrected!
What I suspect you're missing is the way a scale, trickler, powder measure, the press and bullets should be positioned for smooth operation without wasted motion. Not that I care about speed when I'm reloading but I have a young friend, a mere lad of 35, who - against my suggestion - just had to buy a Charge Master so he could 'speed things up'. He recently timed me for charging and seating a box of twenty .243. He found me to be a bit faster than him and I wasn't even trying to go fast! (I am old but I used to be as young and green as you guys. I'm sure both of you will keep learning tho ... if yawl stick with it long enough!
)
Good luck...
