Lesson learned

[Dirtlaw]

Handloading of pre-processed ammo: Bought some stuff from a guy I knew. Did not expect a problem, but there was a problem. Lesson: Don't trust that even your best friend has done the job correctly. Start from the beginning and check every step yourself.

What was the problem? Let us know.

Was not full length resized. After I spend a lot of time carefully loading test rounds I discovered that something wasn't quite right because the bolt wouldn't close without great effort. Finally discovered the problem. Yes, likely not a huge problem since I'm dealing with a bolt gun ... still, on some things I refuse to gamble.

I hope everyone rubs this in hard and makes fun of my mistake because it was after all a foolish mistake. I want it to hurt so I never forget again.
