PRODUCT INSTRUCTIONS

SAFETY

Reloading is an enjoyable and rewarding hobby that is easily con­ducted with safety. But carelessness or negligence can make reloading
hazardous. This product has been designed from the beginning with
the user’s safety in mind.

As with any reloading operation, some safety rules must be fol­lowed. By observing these few rules, the chance of hazardous occur­rence causing damage or injury becomes extremely remote.

GENERAL

• Use the reloading equipment as the manufacturer recommends.

Study the instructions carefully and become thoroughly familiar
with the operation of the product. Don’t take short cuts.

• Observe “good housekeeping” in the reloading area. Keep tools

and components neat, clean and orderly. Promptly and
completely clean up primer and powder spills.

• Reload only when you can give your undivided attention. Do not

reload when fatigued or ill. Develop a reloading routine to avoid
mistakes. Avoid haste—load at a leisurely pace.

• Always wear adequate eye protection. You assume unnecessary

risk when reloading without wearing safety glasses.

LOADING DATA

• Use only laboratory tested reloading data. We highly recommend

the use of the SPEER Reloading Manual.

• OBSERVE ALL WARNINGS ABOUT THE USE OF MAXIMUM

LISTED LOADS.

PRIMERS AND POWDER

• WARNING: Primers are designed to explode and will do so when

subjected to heat or percussion.

• DO NOT decap live primers.

• Never attempt to seat or reseat a primer in a loaded round.

• Store primers and powder beyond the reach of children and away
from heat, dampness, open flames and electrical equipment.

• DO NOT use primers of unknown identity. Dispose of unknown
primers in accordance with applicable regulations.

• Keep primers in original factory container until ready to use.
Return unused primers to the same factory packaging for safety
and to preserve their identity.

• DO NOT store primers in bulk. The blast of just a few hundred
primers is sufficient to cause serious injury to anyone nearby.

• DO NOT force primers. Use care in handling primers.

• DO NOT use any powder unless its identity is positively known.
Discard all mixed powders and those of uncertain or unknown
identity.

• If you use a powder measure, replace the lids on both the powder
hopper and powder can after the powder hopper has been filled.

• Before charging cases, settle the powder in the powder hopper.
Throw and check the weight of at least ten charges. This will
assure you that the correct powder charge is being thrown.

• After a reloading session ends, pour the remaining powder back
in its original factory container. This will preserve the identity and
shelf life of the powder.

• DO NOT smoke while handling powder or primers.

RECORD KEEPING

• Keep complete records of reloads. Apply a descriptive label to each
box showing the date produced, and the primer, powder and bullet
used. Labels for this purpose are packed with SPEER bullets.

Since RCBS has no control over the choice of components, the
manner in which they are assembled, the use of this product, or the
guns in which the resulting ammunition may be used, no responsibility,
either expressed or implied, is assumed for the use of ammunition
reloaded with this product.
