So what is the common denominator with these problems??
Lack of knowledge and/or experience and or operator error.

Agreed...
But since knowledge/experience means different things to different people, I would list "understanding" above all else.
I know a couple guys that have been reloading for quite some and know enough to assemble loads. If you were to ask them they would tell you they have been reloading for many years (they have) for all their various calibers (which in their mind covers knowledge and experience). The truth of it is they really know little beyond screwing dies into a press, priming, charging and seating the bullet... they also know that if you turn the necks, weigh every charge, seat bullet just off lands etc. you will magically turn your rifle into a tackdriver /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif...usually when they have a problem with a load they blame the gun, the powder, the primer...but they're never very certain of the cause or able to diagnose it... but they'll be first in line to give out reloading advice lol.
It seems for some that it is more important to participate on a open forum then to understand what it is they are talking about.
Your friends are 'reloaders' and not 'handloaders', like I said there is a difference.
Oh yeah, try telling them that.
As I said, knowledge and experience mean different things to different people.
These forums are full of reloading experts with relatively little understanding beyond the basics...they just don't realize it. They're also full of predator hunting experts that never seem to actually go out and hunt (or post anything to make you believe they ever did). The internet has allowed them to become an authority on something they might, or might not of been successful at in real life...who knows and who cares.
It's just what you deal with on an open forum...everyone has an opinion and it should be taken with a grain of salt. The people who actually do know something about this stuff can recognize what is good info vs. the crap.
I think this whole post really both says a lot and touches upon a LOT of truths. ESPECIALLY the last sentence........ /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif
I don't have anything to add here. I just wondered how many quotes in a quote this thing can handle. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif
The limit is when there is no room left for the first quote in the very center.
I just wanted to see what it looked like on the reply page!
Hey guys, newbie "quoter" here...
Just wanted to ask how to use the "quote" feature. Any one have any ideas they could share???
I don't have any "quoting" manuals as of yet, but my build is on the way and I'll need to be "quoting" alot in the near future. I think I've got the /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grinning-smiley-003.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grinning-smiley-006.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/angry-smiley-055.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smiliesmack.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused1.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowingsmilie.gif down pat, but that darned "quote" thingy is really getting to me!!
Sorry again for the newbie question. I tried the 'search' feature, but it doesn't seem to be working. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smiliesmack.gif
Thanks in advance /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowingsmilie.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowingsmilie.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowingsmilie.gif
P.S...
I just picked up a Savage combo at Wally World to tie me over until my other Savage build gets bedded into the Ultimate Choate Stock. Replaced the "cheapo" Simmons with a CounterSniper 12-56 X 69 w/ bertrillium coated diamond etched sniperplex reticle and was wondering if anyone had any input on this scope (since I already bought it and need to pump my fragile ego up).
If so, how's it doing for you beyond 1,000yds? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif Any parallax issues when the heavy mirage is on??? The ashfalt parking lot at the mall really makes the air dance on a hot summer day, so I need all the AO I can get... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
Since I don't reload (yet), what's your favorite factory ammo for long range? Is it available from Wally World in bulk packs? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif
This is a great site, and just got better since I joined /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif
B.T.W...
I'm only looking for opinions that parallel my own. So if you don't agree, then with all due respect, go suck on a garden hose...
Thanks again..... in advance /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif
