Well, I'm a fairly new reloader. Only been reloading since March and have loaded maybe 1000 rounds. All of it sticking to the books and reloading stuff for my daughter to shoot her rifle and for me to shoot my rifle and 9mm pistol.

Well yesterday, I went and shoot in a Steel Challenge with my 9mm. I hadn't had any issues up until yesterday, where I got a bunch of failure to feeds. Up until now I had never had that issue while testing loads and punching holes in paper. To me now the real fun begins of tinkering with the recipes I have. Like with OAL, powder and what not, to produce a load that will shoot good plus be easy on recoil to be able to get back on target quickly to be able to get better scores during the Steel Challenge. I am so looking forward to tinkering with my recipes (safely of course and within guidelines) to try and achieve the best of both worlds...accuracy and speed.
