Jason, you responded to an e-mail I sent you in January, Thank You. You had said that you were looking for new ideals. Well here we go. I would like to hear more about some common rounds like 38 spl,9mm,40 s&w, 45ACP, and 308 cal’s. Something that people that are new, like myself, to reloading would want to know. I want to know about things like simple or common mistakes that we make reloading ammo, primers and head rim problems. What are the more common problems with particular calibers of ammo with different handguns and rifles when reloading. What is the difference in bullet seating with different shapes or type of bullets in the same caliber. What are the little not so well known things that can help improve how well a round chambers. What is the differences in powders? What makes one powder shoot cleaner then the other? (powders that don’t dirty up your gun so much) How to tell if a problem is with the ammo or the gun? These are some of the things that a new reloader like myself want to know. You can use my name in your podcast if you like Thanks, Eddie from Zachary, La.
