[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 675389, member: 2189"] brown, Sober is correct about the russian short and it's been a few years but I remember the round was berdan primed too which makes the problem bigger. I started reloading in the early 70's thanks to the father of a high school friend and I started on a single stroke Lyman (my first and still with me) and RCBS presses, getting a Lyman turret press in the late 70's and then a progressive reloader (Dillion 550) in the 80's. I don't reload anymore as I really don't shoot that much anymore but for certain types of shooting I'd highly reccommend it. There's lots to say about reloading and it's as much a passion as anything but in the case of the russian short, just stick to buying ammo. You're doing the best thing so stick with it. Happy shooting and be safe. OH, use extra due diligence in cleaning your weapon as a lot of russian short ammo (at least back in the day) used poor grades of powder that is corrosive to gun barrels. Just an FYI to consider. [/QUOTE]
