    First reloads went bang!

    Just reloaded for the first time last night and today at the range they all fired off without a hitch! What a great feeling.

    They actually felt a little more stout than the PMC Bronze I was also using. I was surprised at this because I was only using the starting .45 load for Unique, 5.9 grains behind 230grain FMJ.

      Probably sounds dumb but I honestly wasn't sure if they were going to work... No doubts now though!

          Nope, doesn't sound dumb at all. I know the feeling. But I was a little different, I half expected my first reloads to blow up my gun .

            I was down right scared when I was about to fire off my first reloads ever. Held the rifle all the way out at arms length and closed my eyes. BANG! After a finger check I was all ear to ear grins and hooked for life. I don't even buy factory ammo any more except for 22lr.
