Finally loaded my first rounds.

I loaded 20 rounds today for my 223. I loaded 10 rounds with 24.3gr of h335 with a 40gr h-vmax wsr primers. and 10 more the same thing but 25.1gr of h335. I seated the bullet to 2.230"

Everything went pretty smooth I weighed each time to make sure I was getting the right amount of powder thrown. Maybe eventually I will loosen up.

Thank you everyone for your help!! If anything with the load seating depth or anything doesn't look right let me know!! I will be waiting a few weeks to get out there and shoot them. Snow melting! a little too wet to set up the chrono and all.

I was nervous loading but now I am going to be really nervous to pull the trigger the first time!!

Thanks again!!
