[QUOTE="Inky Doc, post: 1553051, member: 87184"] I am new to reloading and have some questions that I can’t find answers to. When you reply I would greatly appreciate you numbering your responses as I did the questions. I have autism and things get very muddled when specificity is assumed. Naturally, if you only have one or two responses that would be very welcome too. 1- Why start hand loading with the lowest powder charge? It makes sense not to start at the top, but I fail to understand why you wouldn’t start somewhere in between. 2- What is the difference between a primer pocket swager and primer pocket cleaner? 3- If fast twist rates are needed to stabilize heavier bullets, why are there slower twist rates? Does firing lighter bullets through faster twist rates shorten barrel life? 4- In one reloading manual I’m reading it states that full-length resizing isn’t always necessary if the cartridge is being fired out of the same rifle and that neck-only resizing will do. Any explanations please? 5- I’m sure there are 50 different answers, but what brass manufacturers do you feel are better, brass last longer, etc.? If it matters, I will be reloading a .243 and 6.5CM. Not really a reloading question but.. 6- Is there any number associated with the rounds needed to wear out a firing pin?10,000? 50,000? Thank you to all. I have learned a great deal from reading other threads on here. I truly appreciate the wisdom. [/QUOTE]
