Just shot my first reloads!
Well, after months of reading info and gather supplies, I finally can say I've shot my own rounds. My Lee Classic turret press came in on friday and I spent this weekend getting it all set up. Loaded 50 rounds lastnight and went to the range on my lunch break today to try it out. They shot great, were alot cleaner than the WWB that I've been shooting, and most importantly, didn't blow up my gun (my wife was nervous) or have any kind of failure. I used the load data off of the titegroup bottle. It was a 185gr. bullet from precision bullets, 4.7 grains of titegroup, with a CCI small pistol primer in used WWB cases. Can't wait to load up some more. Could have never done it without reading the threads on here... Thanks to everyone!

Awesome!
There are tons of reloading site...the best thing to do is get already proven reload data and work from those!
NEVER just assume the powder you have is proper and NEVER go straight for max load until you know what you are doing
I reloaded my .30Carbine a LOOOONG time ago...started with an approx 80% load, instead of the rifle going "blam blam blam" with its full recoil, it pretty much was a mild "chuck chuck" of the slide, I was worried it wouldn't cycle because it was so low powered compared to factory loads..but it ate em up
Congrats man....now you know what shootin is ALL about!
