Thanks everyone. I have since used my rock chucker for reloading the following, .380, 9mm, 350 legend, 450 bushmaster, 30-06 and most recently 300 blackout.
Also important I have learned is bullet selection. You ideally want to get the right bullet for the job. Very important to know the difference between pistol rated bullets and rifle rated velocities.
An example is the Hornady xtp line, made for pistol however some xtp mag is safe at rifle velocity. The spire point or ftx is better suited for rifle application. This confusion can happen when shopping for common pistol and rifle bullet diameter. Hornady makes .45 caliber 250 grain xtp bullets I accidentally purchased for 450 reloading.
I am told that the xtp non mag will work in the 450 if I don't push it. I find the reports on deer interesting. One poster claimed a large entrance wound with a small exit wound..
To me that indicates that the bullet fragments badly on impact. What I thought was a good hunting round may not be ideal for hunting at all. I am still going to try them myself to see the results.
I have a bunch of dies, case trimmer, a powder thrower 3 yes 3 scales tons of brass, primers, 8lb jugs of lilgun and Winchester 760 a 4 pounder of accurate 2 a Franklin case tumbler. The collection has definitely grown but it started with my rock chucker. I also acquired several books, lee's and Hornady plus the hodgdon online data.
