My First Reload...9mm!

[williamkevin]

This is just so cool!!!! My first round!



My load specs for the first batch:
115gr Berry's Preferred plated bullet
4.7gr of Alliant Bullseye powder
Winchester brass (fired-not new)
Winchester small pistol primer

Loaded on a Lee Challenger Press from the 50th Anniversary Kit using Lee Carbide dies.

I don't have a chrono yet, but the numbers say this should be around 1100 fps.

Cheers!

Congrats. I started not long ago with the same kit. I'll likely be picking up some Berry's of my own in the near future, though I think I'm going to stick with 124 grain.

What was the OAL on that load? How many did you load up for the first run?

Let us know how they do!

Thanks. I'm doin a 50 round run with this load to see if it's what I want. My OAL is right at 1.160

Ohhhhhh....we need to get out to the range and try out those 50 so the reloading can begin in earnest! We have a lot of brass to fill.
