  "The powder burns completely in the chamber and a few inches into the barrel." Not quite. Peak
  chamber pressure occurs within a very few inches of bullet travel but few charges are
  completely burned ...

  "I've read that you want a slow burning powder in a longer barrel rifle so you can maintain
  higher pressure longer till the bullet leaves the barrel. Faster powder for pistols and shorter
  barrels. So ...

  ".22 For self defense. Yay or nay? "Well, a .22 RF would be a lot better than throwing
  tomatoes but consider that the value of a 'double tap' to the head started with Europe's panty
  waist 9mm. The qu...

  Not some halfassed machined chrome bumper that Lee calls a reloading die. Been to the RCBS
  factory and they are great people who all love to hunt, shoot fish and take PRIDE in producing

  "...im wondering what is the "real" difference."Valid question. Truth is, ammo is made inside

  'quality' ...

  "The primers have double stacked from time to time. But the brass doesn't want to go into the

  "Of course there is lead dust. Don't be rediculous. You should wear a mask when tumbling
  cases.""Brass dust"? Amusing joke or deep wisdom from Chicken Little? Please note I didn't say

  "...the drum and bucket media separator it generates a lot of lead dust ..."No, it doesn't.
  There is no "lead" at all in powder or cases, virtually no lead residue even from lead bullets
