Reloads consist of Accurate 1680 powder, CCI primers, and 180 grain Sierra Pro Hunters bullets. Overall, pretty happy and excited with this reloading stuff!

Shooting your very first reloads is very rewarding when they fly down range. It's a cool moment to know you loaded it yourself.

Rolled up around 650 rounds of .45 ball last night. Since I started casting, they've been just taking up space on the shelf.

Mayhap I'll run them through my Glock. There. I said it. I own a Glock. [hammer]

The first step is admitting you have a problem.

I built a couple of cheap target stands out of 2x4x96's and 1x2x96's. Yay!

Looked for a few boxes for finished rounds. Never located, i did find a complete lower, had no clue was out there. Wonder if i need to do a 4473 before i bring it in the house.

Feel better now? [Coffee] If you need help getting rid of them, give me a holler!

Cried that I don't have a 1050.. So many buckets of brass - and just one little 600 to swage it all.

Started reloading 9mm 147's to replace those that I shot at the Colorado Freedom Shoot over the weekend. "Started" being the operative word.

Are you transferring it to your house?

I did write up a report on my dismal trip a few pages back...

Basically, my best results at 200 yds were with 23.0 gr of IMR 4064 which gave me a 4.16" group. Just a little over 2 MOA. A little disappointing, but I think I had quite a few other issues that day.
