Bit the Bullet
Been wanting to get into reloading for quite a some time now (years). Finally decided to make it happen. Set the bench up yesterday and the press today. Made a few rounds and took them out back and made them go bang. Primers bulged on the 1st group. Got to checking different specs and changed OAL to what Hogdon has on their site. Next group was right. Quite a bit snappier than off the shelf target loads.
I had a bunch of old brass I tossed years ago when we moved, figuring at that point I would never get a press and reload. I wonder if the landfill would mind digging that up for me?
Overall the setup is pretty easy. I’ll make a couple more test groups pick what I like and make a run of them.
