i had the same problem a few years ago when i got the new open blaster. i sent all my buddies a pic of it with the statement, "i have a new can of Whoop Ass so watch out. the day of the match was similar to yours, jam-o-matic on the first stage, added light oil and proceeded to win the rest of the stages after that. i told everyone that i got the new can of whoop ass and forgot to read the instructions. it said "thaw before using" lynn

that's on my list to see. lynn

here's the view from my house:

hopalong told me that the nra highpower rifle shooters have to have a 4.5 lb trigger pull. they put 3 lb on the first stage and 1.5 lb on the 2nd stage. lynn

i think a great solution would be to get one of the black and decker workmate benches, (sawhorse type bench) or a metal tool stand for a drill or table saw. look in the forum, realoading benches for more ideas. http://www.brianenos.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=5485 good luck, lynn p.s. welcome to the foums.

sorry to hear about the bad luck. we've all been there and done that. the rewards of reloading more than out weigh the odd squib. welcome to the forums and good luck shooting. lynn
