Yeah, buddy!!! Just finally got my dies from Midway...SIX MONTHS later...

Gad, but I hate this whole shortage thing. Anyway, I got mine, and now I'm about to head out to the shed and start rolling my own!

Got .223 and .308 dies, so I'm set for my rifles. Pistols will come later, I'm sure. I'll try to post out some results from the first few batches, later on.

GLEE!!!

If I could give one word of advice to a new reloader it would be to take your time, and avoid all disruptions. If other peole are around then BS away, but stop your reloading process until all the disruptors are gone.

And one other thing. Always do a flashlight test on your reloads. After you have put the powder in all your cases. Be sure to take a flashlight and inspect the powder inside of each individual case. You will be happy you did this test. You will find mistakes. Good Luck, Tom.
