SAFETY
Reloading is an enjoyable and rewarding hobby that is easily
conducted with safety. But carelessness or negligence can make reloading
hazardous. This product has been designed from the beginning with
the user‘s safety in mind.
As with any reloading operation, some safety rules must be followed.
By observing these few rules, the chance of hazardous occurrence
causing damage or injury becomes extremely remote.
GENERAL
• Use the reloading equipment as the manufacturer recommends.
Study the instructions carefully and become thoroughly familiar with
the operation of the product. Don‘t take short cuts.
• Observe “good housekeeping” in the reloading area. Keep tools and
components neat, clean and orderly. Promptly and completely clean
up primer and powder spills.
• Reload only when you can give your undivided attention. Do not
reload when fatigued or ill. Develop a reloading routine to avoid
mistakes. Avoid haste – load at a leisurely pace.
• Always wear adequate eye protection. You assume unnecessary risk
when reloading without wearing safety glasses.
LOADING DATA
• Use only laboratory tested reloading data. We highly recommend
the use of the SPEER Reloading Manual.
• OBSERVE ALL WARNINGS ABOUT THE USE OF MAXIMUM
LISTED LOADS.
PRIMERS AND POWDER
• WARNING: Primers are designed to explode and will do so when
subjected to heat or percussion.
• Do not decap live primers.
