I put the video up on Youtube,too, in three parts http://loadmastervideos.com

I have a new Load Master setup video posted a http://loadmastervideos.com . It's 23 minutes long and 230 Mb in size. It is actually all of the 15 short videos I made for the upcoming instruction manual spliced together. It consists of: Primer pin installation Index Rod installation Shellplate installation How indexing works Case retainer installation Turret installation Primer depth adjustment Die setup overview Station 1 die installation Station 3 die installation Station 4 die installation with a finished round Station 4 die installation without a finished round Station 5 die installation Filling primer tray Setting up powder measure Final adjustments

That's the way I use mine! I thought I had an original idea, then I come here and see a lot of other people do it,too. I installed a white LED under the turret so I can see the charge. I even ground away the corner of what woud hold a left front post if there WAS a left front post. I can really see down into the case. With the powder measure in station number 1 I don't see a way to use the chain. I use the powder measure with the spring from my turret press. And yes, the case feeder works wonderfully.

Hey, don't drag MY name into this. I use Titegroup with 147 grain bullets, but use light loads only. We may be reading about this guy winning a "Darwin's Award" sometime soon, though. I assume that's what you meant.

I don't have an answer for the first shots being slower. What I've been loading with titegroup Charge 3.3 3.6 3.8 Average Velocity 835 880 919 Power Factor 123 129 135 from a 3" barrel. 1.140 OAL. I've been happy with all three, especially the first two. Low recoil and pretty accurate. I don't see slower speeds for first shots, but the first ones recorded might not be the first ones I shoot.I usually shoot or two one before I start recording. If you throw out the first two, the extreme spread is only 27 - lower than mine are - although I shoot 30 shot strings.
