A guy I used to work with and a couple of his friends got together once a month or so to do some bench shooting at his parents farm. Nice place set up for out to 300 yards. His brother-in-law showed up one time with a Remington 700 in .30-06 and one of those Lee hand held “lemon squeezer” reloaders. All he had was 20 pieces of brass, and kept reloading them from his tailgate. I walked over to watch him reload a few rounds. To measure the powder, he dumped it from the can into the brass case until filled, right to overflow, then crunched a bullet down into the neck. Every charge was a compressed charge. A very compressed charge! Needless to say, I didn’t stand close to him when he was shooting. When asked about it, he said that he has always done it that way, then questioned how it should be done. We tried to explain dipper and weigh measuring, but I don’t think he understood. Far as I know, the guy is still alive. How, I’m not sure.
