20 bangs and no booms
Just got back from the range and my first attempt at handloading was a success. I made 20 bullets and my 1911ate them just fine. I was just shooting at water bottles at a 25 yard berm so I wasn't logging accuracy or anything but the dirt kicked up very close to my point of aim so I am pretty happy.
Now to load up the rest of the brass I have and call myself a reloader! On a side note... a friend gave me some range pickup brass and as I sorted it I found some .45 acp +p brass, some with nickle/brass and some brass. I'll have to dig around in my manual and see what it has to say about the dimensions for that brass before I try loading those cases. |

Congratulations Habaz72 & welcome to the fold of us that don`t depend on the masses to supply our ammo !!
Sort of an independence of sorts

You are in fact a reloader. You have reloaded, and will reload..... you have the sickness, now. Pass it on!
