A Word of Advice for Reloaders

This from The Shooting Wire:

Editor’s Note: Shooters are a conversational group. We regularly share “insider tips” or insights among our groups of friends and/or associates. Today, we’re sharing an insider tip from one of the guys we consider a go-to when we need the “skinny” on shooting topics, Ed Head. Here’s Ed’s insight on an incident in which no one (fortunately) was injured- but led to his discovery of something anyone who reloads handgun ammo should know.

Insight From Ed Head
