Why in the world would you start out this way ? When you could have bought a reloading book/manual, read it and followed the information and instructions on what and how to reload ammunition.

I often wonder, by so many comments with this thread and others, if anyone even looks at a reloading book or just asks for a load and loads it up in their own rifle, disregarding common sense and the ability to do it correctly.
