My first 100!!

TheFineLine · January 11, 2015, 01:01 PM

This is my first set. It is 45ACP, Starline brass, 185 grain Hornady HAP, 7.2-8.0 of longshot, and CCI300. I'm working up several other calibers as well. I can't wait to go try them out.

This is fun.

Congrats!
Now you're hooked.

Freshly reloaded rounds are a thing of beauty!

They sure look damn sexy! Congrats. Can wait to get my first batch framed.

Outstanding looking work there!

I got into reloading originally to save money.

Found you don't save money.....just get to shoot more for the same money.......

... and it's just plain fun.

Congrats on the great work.

Nick_C_S · January 12, 2015, 04:38 PM

They look great!

And it's okay to just stare at them for a while

(We all do it.)

madmo44mag · January 12, 2015, 04:48 PM

Congrats and looks good.

Ok now since you are having some much FUN; e-mail me and I'll give you my address and you can come and load these 2500 rounds

siting on the bench waiting on me.

PS
If you are still having fun after that I forgot about the 5,000 rounds of 5.56 I need loaded as well sitting under my loading bench.

ATPBULLETS · January 12, 2015, 05:12 PM

Awesome.... you are Bit....

learfxr · January 12, 2015, 05:46 PM

Small primer? Did you decide to go that route on purpose or just kinda happened that way?

I started with 45acp also. Did around 750 of those then went to 44 mag and now 9mm. Fun to learn new stuff

Lsc8 · January 12, 2015, 08:08 PM

Nice and shiny. My brass is never that clean.

snakeye · January 12, 2015, 10:02 PM

Congratulations...have fun shooting them

TheFineLine · January 12, 2015, 11:15 PM

Typo... CCI 300! Loading up some 40 with the 500s now. Thanks everybody. I'm going to go shoot'em on Thursday. Stoked.

learfxr · January 12, 2015, 11:58 PM

I'm hoping to get time at the range tomorrow for some of my reloads. Only reason I saw the primer number was due to loading my 9mm rounds today with CCI primers. Some guys like 45acp with small primer so they don't have to change the press from loading other small primer rounds.

We'll want a report

9mmSkeeter · January 14, 2015, 11:36 AM

Those look good, champ!

Now the fun begins...

TailGator · January 14, 2015, 11:50 AM

Soon you will look at shooting as making empty brass so you can reload.

Have fun.

TheFineLine · January 14, 2015, 02:22 PM

Well, we have to push out the range time till Tuesday since I just got this guy in today and I have to work up some 40s. Awwww shucks!!!!!!! It's one of Buds police trade-ins. Night sights are still good, and whoever had this, didn't shoot it much. It looks almost brand new. YAY new gun day!!!

9mmSkeeter · January 14, 2015, 03:09 PM

Let us know how that works out. I set aside the same thing at Buds in 45 ACP for their 180 day layaway.

If you need brass, I stopped loading 40, ill sell you mine cheap. Oh yeah and the dies too.
