Hi Unregistered,

On July 29th, this site will be moving..! No, really - it's "moving" to another physical location - including servers, gateways, routers - everything - including my coffee cup...

So, from the date of July 29th through July 30 or 31 (shooting for these dates, but - as always, I'm at the mercy of my ISP who has to install the lines to the new location - and we actually get them running ;) ). But - this site, cloud servers and main web will be OFF LINE.

Now, please save these dates!! Please - don't be "that guy" who emails me on the 30th to tell me you "can't open the Parker Website". I'll already know it is offline - and also know that you are "that guy"...

I'll take this notice up and down over the next week or so - and leave it up during the final few days before shutting it off on the 29th..

John D.

I reload tapered hull, no base wad Remington's (Gun Club's, STS's, Nitro Gold's) and the early Winchester AA-CF's about 10 times when the ends begin to crack.

Straight walled hulls with base wads RST's, only about 4 times.

The RST's would still crimp OK, I just want to be on the cautious side and not have a base wad come loose and go down the barrel. I have cut a couple of them apart tho to see how intact that base wad is. Still nice and firm.

I have a good supply of once fired hulls so that influences my decision.
