[socalfamous87]

i just finished my first 20 rounds of 9mm reloads. it feels great. i wanna give a special thanks to dirtypacman i couldnt of done it without you...now hopefully i can hit the range with my new 9mm rounds and try them out!!!!!!

Good job socal. You are now officially addicted to reloading. that high youre feeling will only intensify as you gain experience. It is very rewarding and carries a strong sense of pride to shoot the X ring out with ammo you made yourself.

It is soooo second nature to me at this point [reloading]
but the 'high' still never goes away !
It has become another item on my 'honey-do' list.......
"we gonna shoot tomorrow ?......how many rounds
you got for me?........"
And MamaOzo can shoot up some rounds !!!!!!!!

Very cool, reloading adds another dimension to your shooting experience.

Way to go. Making them is almost as much fun as shooting them. Start now keeping records of what and how you make your reloads.

[BobMcG]

Good for you. You're now an official member of the reloading fraternity.

Now, isn't someone supposed to cut his shirttail off or something?

[American Leader]

Mighty pretty ain't they. Congrats SF87, you're hooked now!!

[BlackEagle]

They look great. Congratulations and well done.

Nothing feels better than squeezing the trigger, hearing the bang, seeing the group and knowing that "I made that".

I like research, so part of my fun is finding the best load combinations for my guns. That's where the reloading log comes into its own. That, and self-stick reactive targets. I peeled my best targets off the paper and stuck them in my shooting notebook along with load notes.

Enjoy the reloading and shooting the fruits of your labor!!

it feels great. now i cant wait to get back to the table and pump some more out!!!!

[gun-nut]

Watch out it grows!!!!! I bet that i speek for most of us that do reload.

It's even more of a rush when you pull the trigger on your first reload---congrats, they look nice.

[Dirtypacman]

That is awesome - looks like those dies are working just as they should. Sorry it took me a couple extra days to get them out to you but hey you can't beat free

I am very happy I could extend some good cheer to begin your new year.
Enjoy, be safe and look forward to seeing the range report on the loads.

[DixieLandMan]

YEAH! You are going to have to let us know how they shoot. I just started reloading 9mm although I have had the equipment and gun for quite some time and plan to shoot some as soon as I get over being sick.

[ozo]

As each gun shoots different,
usually, each gun I buy, I make a round for that gun.....
Simple, I start at minimum level, make five.......bump it up a hair
of powder, make five more, etc.
All along keeping them labeled, and even if you are
not fortunate to have a vise to shoot from, you will
see the accuracy increase and fall off.
Once I see an accuracy 'signal', I tweek the load from there.

nice glad u feel good about it-you should
