If i could find one big enough!!!...

Oh no.......now you've got me scared again.... My Lee book stated a 4.7 grain load for these.....is that incorrect?

Just wanted to tell you guys about my visit to the mailbox yesterday..... I opened the box and the FIRST thing i saw was the new Victoria's Secret Catalog.... The SECOND thing I saw was this month's edition of Playboy... The THIRD and final thing I saw was an envelope from the Dept. of Safety with my HCP inside....WOOOHOOOO!!!!!!!!!

Uker...YES.....and it actually doesn't take as much time as I thought it would.... The only thing that is time consuming is charging the cases...for now(because i'm "scared") I am weighing EVERY charge. I guess I just don't trust myself yet. One thing I HAVE noticed is, that I AM getting very close with each one, but I'm using the Lee dippers....I can already see that I am going to have to get a more precise way to measure the loads....I have a RCBS Little Dandy(thanks to Mark@Sea) but, I don't have any rotors yet...and those little things aren't cheap.....

XD....the dummy round worked great...so...I made 50 more last night.....now i need to get to the range. Cat's...Bullseye for now....it seemed to be a good starting powder as I found lots of info for it. And seems to work with all my calibers. (.45, 9mm,.38, .32) Merrill....thanks for that info...I will try to get to the range and do some shooting and let ya'll know how I did...

Will be...soon....

Hey there....welcome neighbor...enjoy!

Oh...one other thing........several places I read said that 9MM was NOT a good round to BEGIN reloading on...grrrrrr....but that's just my luck.... I've been "assembling" my reloading stuff and the 9MM was the round that everything came together first....oh well....start with the hard stuff!!!!

Thanks again Uker! I THINK that is why I was questioning myself...I have researched and read and researched and read and I think I overloaded my information receptacle.... Every source I checked had DIFFERENT info:screwy:....shew!....i hope it gets easier!

Thanks XD!...i just finished a box of 50...but...i WILL make a dummy round tomorrow and check the things you stated....two questions....should the dummy round fall out of the barrel or stay in and should the dummy round twist(i assume it should)? Thanks to you also Cats....you were dead on my thinking(after i researched it all day and called an expert)....i settled on 1.125!....do you have ESP.....(n)?

Uker...thanks for the tips! All that makes perfect sense. These bullets are 124 Grain.

These are my first attempts at reloading...the one on the far right was obviously my first one...the one on the far left is a factory load. I know the min. OAL is 1.095 and max OAL is 1.169 so....where should i begin with OAL..split the diff between min and max? Should i use the measurement of the factory load? or is this all gonna be trial and error deal for my pistols? anybody have a "favorite" OAL for 9MM? Looks like I'm gonna get to use my new bullet puller....

I would 10,000 times RATHER have a NRA tag and be broken into than EVER have a florida tag on ANYTHING i own....

Awww man:confused:....I'm just getting into reloading and have no idea what stuff is worth... I guess I'll ask the dumb questions: how old is it? how "used" is it? shipping costs? And how cheap is cheap?

From what i've been told...the fouling and residue inside the brass can cause less "space" inside....therefore causing more pressure....

Thanks for the link....I have a Star model 30 9mm... It MAY need an older brother as well....

Nice!...very nice!

+1...he drives a TITAN!!!!!:up:

87-31 yes

Anyone know where to get a cheap tumbler? Another question....I've seen some "things" on the web about "home-made" tumblers...anyone use one or know how to make one?

I'm still disappointed that Mike.357 would allow his fishing poles to have broken tips....

:popcorn:

Yagermeister shot glass too....sweet!

Hilarious!!!!!!!
