Re: I'm in
Good for you! You will have a great time making your own rounds and shooting them. Read your manuals (notice plural) and read them again and then jump in and let the fun begin. Be safe.

Re: I'm in
Ready, set, go, . . .
Go de-prime and re-size all that brass you've been saving. Welcome to the madness. Now, about casting your own bullets, . . . .

Re: I'm in
mitchell, you might want to get your post count up, I hear there is going to be a Lyman Reloading Handbook #49 given away on the next round of giveaways!!
Get that post count up so you can qualify for it.

Re: I'm in
yeah, if you're shooting the .40 in a S&W you should have no issues with bulged cases. Mainly just the Glocks. If you look in some reloading manuals, they state "these loads are only for guns which fully support the case in the chamber". The word Glock is not used but that's what they're talking about.
+1 for pics! there's a thread here where everyone is showing off their reloading benches: http://www.thefirearmsforum.com/show...eloading+bench
