I welcome even negative comments about the caliber since I am being educated. Latest is that I beat one of the Reed cartridges into the chamber without any idea of smoking the case. I used an oak rod to do the "beating". I went out to the range, shot the cartridge, and was impressed with the sound. Now, I have to get the case out of the chamber, then I will smoke a case to identify the interference. I suspect it is the shoulder. I wonder if Reed will resize the shoulders on the remaining 19 cartridges for me? Their shipping on one box of cartridges was $12.00 plus. I wonder if they will resize the cases and charge me another $12.00 to ship them back to me? I will wait for Bill's gift cases to get here. Thanks again to all. I'm not Mike Petrov, but I'm learning.
