Oh I SOOOOOOOOOO wish that I could understand what you guys were saying!!!!:?
As far as you (TRICK) question I would've said that if you found it absolutely necessary I guess you could get away with a routine such as tumbling before and after depriming but even inexperienced ole me wouldn't even think of tumbling a loaded round. That's just stupid from a stupid and uneducated way of thinking. My first thought after reading the question is "okay, pointy magnum hunting rounds, packed into a tumbler, bumpin up and down, side to side into and against other fully loaded rounds, right next to the 10lbs of gun powder. Yeah that's realllllllllly smart. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT!!!!!
As far as long range shooting. Let's put it this way and I'm not exagerating a bit, when other kids wanted to be doctors and lawyers and such, I wanted to be a Marine Scout/Sniper. Seriously, since the age of ~12, all I've wanted to do is take that single, long range, life changing/taking shot that would be talked about for years. Charles Hathcock was my legendary hero for a LOOOOOOOOONG time. But then I found out anyone who takes medicine every day isn't allowed in the military and to be honest, I never really recovered from that. I was born to be a soldier of some kind and I can't because some stupid (I say that but fully support it) regulation that doesn't allow me to even be in the military.
Anyway, I can guarantee I know something about you both. I know that either of you have smoked a cigarette in the past 5-10 years. Let me tell you a little story. I'm captain of my JROTC's rifle team, someone dares me to try to put a pellet through a drinking straw. 30 seconds later, I had done something that most of the shooters present didn't even think was possible. That was probably the proudest I've ever felt. But then I started smoking the next summer so that I could get breaks at worklike everyone else. Being lazy ended my shooting career. Maybe it's the equipment, maybe it's the tobacco, either way, I was competetive material before and now I'm lucky if I can keep it in the black.
