Night Crew check in v2.0

I got into reloading only a month or two ago. Found 2k small pistol primers and 2lbs of powder (two types pistol) at my local gun shop. Snatched those up along with 500 bullets. Got my scale, which was the last item to get, about 2 weeks ago, loaded up some ammo and immediately realized that loading at any sort of rate that I want to by weighing each charge will take me way too long. So I bought a die mounted powder dropper. It was delivered on Saturday and I've been extremely anxious to get home to play with it!

Heck, I've been extremely anxious to test my first reloads, but haven't had time to get to the range in the past 10 days.

I still keep looking online for various parts, mostly bullets though, for pistol and eventually .223, but I don't have those dies yet. Figured I'd get used to loading for pistol first before I switch over to rifle.

Nice! Are you going to test your loads in your least favorite pistol? One day I will reload. Until then it's kitty-litter jugs full of my brass.

Haha, nope! I've only got one pistol that shoots this caliber, though I have been wanting to pick up a Glock 27 for a while now, but I refuse to sell my Glock 23. And yes, my first reloading venture was with loading .40 S&W to be shot out of a Glock

I double checked everything each step of the way and made sure that each powder charge was well below the maximum value. I've very confident that they'll work without any problems, but I would be lying if I said that I won't be a tiny bit nervous when I pull the trigger the first time lol. I'll be wearing some gloves just in case though.

And I will be shooting 1 round at a time, then checking for squibs, though I doubt the charges were that low to cause squibs.
