When you shot your very first reloads did you squint your eyes real tight and turn your face away a little bit half expecting a kaboom?

No. I just loaded up a mag and

No, but my friends wouldn't touch the stuff even though I had over 300 reloads. Too bad for them, I had a blast.SECRET//NOFORN

no...but I accidently loaded 100 rounds with 4.3 grains of bullseye and seated teh bullets too deep for an overall length of 1.07...the minimum is supposedly 1.12 for that load. Its not a max load, and its not compressed, but when I shot them tomorrow I will be squinting.I love America for the rights and freedoms we used to have.Comment

Noooo I if did I wouldn’t have shoot them.. Why risk a gun and or harm to me on a chance and prayer. If you follow the reloading manuals, do proper research you’ll be fine..
Don’t get me wrong! I’ve made my fare share of mistakes and have had to pull many, many rounds apart because I wasn’t sure about something the following morning, etc. But I know that every round I shoot will go bang and in the general area I’m pointing it without any harm to me or my gun.Comment

Not when I fired my own loads, but I did say a little prayer when my buddy asked me to fire the first round of his 300 Ultra Mag reloads
I'm still here

Nope 357 Magnum, shot them with the really experienced guy that showed me how to reload in the first place. We volume measured every round so I knew we were OK.

I was more worried about my receiver going boom. They don't make M1As the way they used to.

No fear whatsoever. My first handloads were made at a friends house under his supervision and on his equipment.
