Like the title says,
What was the dumbest thing you'd ever done with your reloading project ?
Examples;
Wrong primers
Wrong bullets
Wrong powder
Blah, Blah, Blah.
I'll start.
I thought that I would have some fun shooting black powder
.30-30 cartridges, so, I reached for the 165 grain lead bullets
knowing darn well that they were 30 caliber, but being new to
reloading (35) years ago, I didn't realize the bullets were not
meant for .30-30 class rounds...way to long. So, I chucked them
in my lathe and turned the live rounds down in order for them
to chamber. All went well, but that was just DUMB !
