Video games are not real-life (obviously) and the concepts (usually falsely) represented in them reflect the fact they are there for entertainment purposes only. The real world is where life happens and for some shooters, (especially long range shooters like me), making one's own ammunition is an important part of the shooting process.
Video games, movies, television and such things don't represent firearms well at all, are often terribly inaccurate and misleading and generally lead people to think things that are simply not the case. Typical in the world we live in.
I like to represent shooting and firearms accurately and in a true-to-life way so people can gain some clarity and a little understanding that they won't find in those places I mention above. This post shows just one small element of the process and I've done other posts about the other stages in the past. Maybe you clicked the link I added in this one to one of my previous posts. Either way, this shows the real-world scenario in respect of handloading ammunition.
I am sure of what you say. I did not mean to sound arrogant with my "videogame experience". Just as a chemical engineer, my curiosity rose on how the ammunitions could me created and what was inside them.
I truly appreciated the explanations and the mention of the different gun-powder used for different applications
All good, I didn't think that knowing you as I do, an intelligent and worldly man. So many think that video games are true to life when the reality is they are woefully inadequate.
