Congrats man! I know I was pretty scared to pull the trigger on my first loads. Now I prefer 'em to factory!

I heard you and Captain discussing reloading in the van at Camp McCain. I didn't realize you were so "young" at reloading.

The first round that go bang and not BOOM or pop is a GOOD start. CONGRATS on your first rounds.

I ordered a lee single stage for now. I'll end up with a progressive once I get a couple thousand under my belt.

Cool I just loaded rifle(.243) for the 1st time. I was kinda nervous too.

 

[crazyace85]

How much different is compared to pistol. I ordered my press with 9mm and 223 to start with.

IMHO...I'd start with 38 specials and leave the magnum loads alone for a while...

U aint gotta have a Dillon any more than U need a Mercedes for your first car

Buying the best equipment won't necessarily get you the best ammo...

U need to learn WTF you are doing...Use some cheap Lee single stage stuff...You run into problems...figure em out....

all a fancy progressive will do to you right now is potentially frustrate you...plus if it aint set right it will make u a pile of sh!t ammo...in a hurry...what good is that

Learn what you are doing...read reloading manuals..I still am...I've had a Lee turret (neutered) single stage for 25 years...it does everything I need it to do

rifle is just more case prep. You just need to pay more attention to your powder and your bullet setting.

... was a the range when he fired 'em! Great groups!! Not a single KABOOM!! :lol:

 

[MrGoodtime]

He did a great job, paid close attention, and was soaking up info like a sponge, also was asking good questions. Heck, his first loaded rounds looked better than my first try over 20yrs ago.

yeah I am real nervous about pulling the trigger on these 40 s&w rounds i just loaded. Never even blink about rifle loads anymore lol guess i will get that way with pistol loads soon enough
