I am a total reloading newbie, so be nice!
I went to Bobcat Armament to get some more reloading supplies today. Kimball is the best, if you have not driven over to Shelbyville, you need to... great prices, no hazmat fees, great service.
Anyway, I wanted to pick up some Varget powder as I am wanting to start on some .223 reloads in the near future (I am trying to stock up now before the election). We got into a discussion on the difficulty in loading extruded powders like Varget using a drum-type powder loader.
I have read many times that the ball-type of powders are easier to dispense, which makes total sense and is pretty obvious, but should I just avoid extruded powders all together if I am not willing to verify every load? Is this just a newbie issue, or someday when I am all grown up (!), will I be able to reliably load powders like Varget through my Lee Drum Powder Dispenser?
