Newb with a warning

Wow, you spent all that time on Blue Dot and the 41 mag? Your claim was that I didn't shoot 41 mag. Of which I stated you know nothing about it. My point then and now is that you have no idea if I shoot 41 mag or not. Keep going.

So, are you saying you do shoot/load for 41 Mag? If so, then you should know better than to say:

"I personally have not heard of one person being injured as a result of bad manufacture's reloading data."

..and if you have truly never heard of one, now you have! So, you're welcome.

I started by looking at multiple recipes in order to get a feel for ballpark figures.

And I followed the advice about "starting" loads vs hot loads.
No problems yet (fingers crossed).

When I have conflicting load data for say same powder, I add the loads, average them, start a little above the low then chrono them to start my workups while looking at my cases. I haven't blown myself up in 31 years of trying...

Just got started myself and I bought the same kit. I did not know the standard powder measure rotor and metering assembly that comes with the kit is for rifles NOT pistols. I just thought 'well, everybody says take your time' but it was taking me 1 to 1.5 hours to do the powder drop for 50 rounds!! Asked a forum member about it and got some schooling. Called Hornady. They said most pistol folks buy progressives not single stage and I should just buy a pistol rotor from Midway for $33. If it hadn't been for folks here I'd still be dropping powder at that sssslllllloooooowwwwwww pace!

I am unsure what a $33 pistol rotor is but that is incorrect if they told you that about progressives. MANY folks that I know and teach and push learn on the Lee Classic Turret or other turrets. Turrets are faster than single stage but slower than progressive. I shoot pistol and my turret has done me well. SO well that I just have not bothered to hook up my progressive press for the past 8+ months...

The simple fact is that Hornady has no turrets. They have the lock and load classic and the lock n load AP and that pretty much is all. They do not have the cool selection that Lee or RCBS has. So yeah, nobody HAS bought a turret from Hornady because one does not exist. :\
