Finally reloaded ammo

Post by scotland »

Well.. It took months but I finally got some 9mm loads done. Going out tomorrow to see if they work. 115 gr. FMJ 4.5 gr HP-38 1.125 oal. Powder drop was +/- .1 gr. OAL diff .005. Hopefully that is good. Pics for proof

Congrats Scott, You know, the enthusiasm in your post
reminds me of "ME" years ago. LOL also reminds me of
an old song, "Boom, Boom, Boom, Another one bites the dust"
LMAO. RD & Cyrus told you right, send just one of those
baby's down range & your done, you'll be hooked for life
just like the rest of us, just make sure you have time
to attend the AA (Ammo Anonymous) meetings, LMAO
Good luck & let us know how long it takes for the
smile on your face to leave after you shoot 'em...
Remember, Safety, Safety, Safety.

Yea I use to find alot of em on the ground not so much anymore thanks to the net To many know they can sell their brass online. It's good sometimes bad other but I have a good amount of 30 06 brass 7mm and many other odds and ends I probably will never actaully use all range pick up.
