Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
Me three! 5.5 hrs to go then I get to drive home in time to kiss my Fiancee goodbye while she heads off to work. Then its beer and bed.
When I wake up, I'm planning on heading to the range for an hour or so, want to test my very first reloads. Or, I might use the new powder Lee Auto Disk Pro powder measure and load up a few extra loads with different charges and test for accuracy!
Cool! I always wanted to get into reloading and never did. I gotta start when things clam the hell down and supplies are available again.
Have fun!
I'll be digging out - we got 2 feet and counting at the house.
Guess I'm in on the night crew again.
Digging out tomorrow. Wish I had time to sit at the bench. Get to go to Boulder in stead.
The fun part is looking for a handle for a turn of the century railroad adze.

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?Originally Posted by BuffCyclist
One day I will reload. Until then it's kitty-litter jugs full of my brass.
Just got to the hotel in Seattle after a bullshit flight outta DIA going to be a rough 6 am start tomorrow
You sir, are a specialist in the art of discovering a welcoming outcome of a particular situation....not a mechanic.
My feedback add 11-12 ish before the great servpocaylpse of 2012
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 GlockNice! Are you going to test your loads in your least favorite pistol?
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.
