My first reloading session was a success !

[razor]

I just started reloading. Started with some 9mm. All rounds fired properly and no problems feeding my CZ Shadow 2. I will do more in the near future.

Nice, how did they group?

I was only shooting steel plates. I was originally concerned about function. I did hit plates regularly but missed a couple tries at bowling pin. i was probably 12 to 15 yards away.

I bought 3 Lee presses in a Gunbroker auction. There is a 4 stage turret and 2 single stage presses. Also included was auto disc powder measure and dies for 9, 40, 38 and 45 . I used the single stage to de prime and then re prime. That way I think works best for me, I can then concentrate on the other tasks on turret.

I recently started reloading too. I did not know getting into it that it's a whole 'nuther hobby unto itself. But I'm digging it so far....

Good call on using the single stage for deprime and priming.

congrats. I remember that feeling.
first loads were with my grandpa who showed me how to reload 410 shells when I was a boy.

the best powder measure is my friends OCD Wife .. you may need to find your own LOL ..

i got a Hornady digital scale .. and friends wife runs it when we reload .. we are busy sizing and priming or cutting 223 down to 300BO

she sets this up .

then double checks with the digital scale for every case ..

I started re-loading about eight or ten months ago , I had no idea what I was getting into , take a case, add a little powder, place the bullet in , Lets go shooting! whats so hard about that? I figure I buy a simple kit and that was that. 2-300 bucks tops. Oh no my dear. I may need an extension to my house
