RELOADING SAFETY
NOTICE - This manual is not intended to provide comprehensive instructions or
safety information on how to reload, or handle or use reloading components.
Always read and thoroughly understand a reloading manual before attempting
to reload ammunition.
Reloading is an enjoyable and rewarding hobby when conducted safely. But, as
with many hobbies, carelessness or negligence can make reloading hazardous.
When reloading, always follow these safety guidelines to minimize the risk of
personal injury or death.
• Always wear safety glasses.
• Understand what you are doing and why. Read handbooks and manuals on
reloading. Talk to experienced reloaders. Write or call suppliers of equipment or
components if you have questions or are in doubt.
• Read and understand all warnings and instructions accompanying your equipment
and components.
• Don’t rush or take short cuts. Establish a routine and follow it at a leisurely pace.
• Keep complete records of reloads. Label each box showing the date produced,
caliber and the type of primer, powder and bullet used.
• Do not smoke while reloading, or reload near sources of heat, sparks or ame.
• Observe good housekeeping in the reloading area. Keep tools and components
neat, clean and orderly. Promptly and completely clean up any spills.
• Keep all reloading equipment and components out of reach of children.
• Stay alert. Reload only when you can give your undivided attention. Do not reload
when tired, ill, rushed or under the inuence of drugs or alcohol.
WORKING WITH CARTRIDGES CASES
• Examine empty cases to be sure they are in good condition before reloading. Thin,
split, deformed or badly corroded or pitted cases may be structurally weak, and
result in a dangerous condition.
• Do not store cartridge cases or ammunition near harsh chemicals such as
gasoline, household cleaners, or cat urine. The fumes can weaken the metal and
present a dangerous condition.
• Do not clean cases with chemicals other than those specically designed for
this purpose.
• Ensure cases have proper primer pocket sizes; remove primer staking/crimp if
necessary. Attempting to seat a primer into an undersized pocket or pocket with
staking/crimping can result in detonation.
• Resize and trim red cases to ensure reliable chambering and obtain proper bullet
tension and crimp.
Because RCBS has no control over the choice, assembly or use of components or
other reloading equipment, RCBS assumes no liability, express or implied, for the
use of ammunition reloaded with this product.
