ut she did slow down, and use a couple,three light taps for the rest of the cases.We cleaned the cases by rolling themin an old towel, and then she was ready'for the next step.The case mouth must be flared tofacilitate starting lead bullets, and there'sa small punch that is tapped into the casewhile it is held in the decapping base.Sara pointed out it wouldn't be a goodidea to flare the cases on the bench top, asa high/hard spot could set off a primer(suddenly she was safety conscious).CHARGING WITH POWDEROnce through, and the flared caseswere ready to charge with powder. Shedecided to do all 50 at once, so 1 fetchedher a loading block to hold all the casesto keep things organized, and eliminateknocking a bunch of loose cases overdomino-fashion.The powder dipper was a tiny littlething, and easy to use-just push itthrough a small container filled withpowder, shake it off, and drop it in a case.The dipper had a static charge though,and powder grains stuck to it. A dustingwith graphite cured that.Once all ofthe cases had been charged1had her look in each one to check for an"A few taps seats thebullet, turn the dieover and a few moretaps crimps the case."inadvertent double charge. Safety first.Bullet seating is done with the case inthe decapper base and surrounded by thesizing die. The decapping chamber has athreaded rod and lock ring on the sidewhich serves as a bullet seating punch.Threading the rod in or out of the chamberadjusts bullet seating depth, and thedesired setting is fixed with the lock ring.(Nmmally the bullet is seated to the topgroove, which is intended to provideroom for crimping).Sara chose to start each bullet in thecase mouth by hand (to make sure it gotstarted straight) before placing the casein the die.FEW TAPS SEAT BULLETA few taps seat the bullet, and the caseis then crimped by turning the die overon the round and applying a few moretaps.That's all there is to it. My test subjectloaded her first box of ammo easily, withno help from me save for answering acouple of questions. She'd probably figuredthose out for herself if I'd left heralone.Took her about an hour and a haJf todo that first fifty, and as shesaid, "I never hit a thumb."Bianchi Doesn't GambleWith Quality!And you don't have to either!
