Well it took me long enough but today I fired 9 rounds of hand loaded 9mm in my Kimber Solo. I really took my time during the reloading process since this was my first attempt. Actually one of the simplest steps gave me a little trouble, charging the case. The funnels I have are all too big for the small 9mm case and I had powder go all over the place. A quick trip to the kitchen, "borrowed" a cake icing applicator, slipped the funnel neck into that and didn't spill any Bullseye!

I'm sure to get grief over using baking tools to load ammo, but what the heck, it sure worked!!

Thanks for all the expert advise that was given to this newbie.
