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, 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 rec-
ommend 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.
