Safe Reloading Procedures

ALWAYS Follow Safe Reloading Procedures
As in actual shooting, sensible and proven safety precautions
should ALWAYS be followed. While most of these rules are based on
obvious common sense, they should be reviewed frequently and
followed at all times.
• Use only those reloading formulas created
and tested by responsible powder manufacturers,
and follow
published reloading formulas and tables exactly.
•
Never experiment! Do not interchange recommended components, and,
for best results, use
compatible, factory-matched components.
•
Never mix powders! Never use unidentified powders.
•
Carefully examine and select every hull - discard any that appear
excessively worn or that
show cracks or pinholes.
•
Do not rush - reload carefully and accurately. Avoid distractions
while reloading.
•
Never smoke while reloading!
•
Never drink alcoholic beverages while reloading.
•
Always check powder and shot charges with a reliable scale.
•
Store primers in their original factory trays in a cool, dry area.
Primers are flammable.
•
Store powder in a dark, cool, dry area; out of children's reach;
away from open fire or heat.
Powder is flammable.
•
Wear eye protection while reloading.
•
Keep your reloading area clean and neat.
•
Reloading involves hazardous materials, including lead. Wash hands
before and after
reloading.
•
Never shoot without approved safety glasses and hearing
protection.
For further recommendations please contact
the powder manufacturer. Always review instructions and follow
warnings provided by powder manufacturers. Remember, if you reload,
YOU are responsible for the safety and performance of your
ammunition. |
