My First Reloads Ever!

[Blitzburgh]

Well finally after putzing around for to darned long, I finally loaded my first 50 rounds of .223. It ended up at 48 rounds - had a couple of weird ones that I just chucked out instead of risking it.

A BIG thank you goes out to Bumslie and his Assistant JJ805 for starting me off, and TujungaToes for getting me to finish them up.



Now I have to find a little time to get out to the range to shoot them to make sure they at least work, then I'm off to the races! I have about 4000 .223 cases all prepped and ready to go!

Good job, enjoy them.

[Ferrum]

Look good Blitz!

Just wait, shooting your first reloads is awesome.

My finger ache at the thought of 4000 prepped .223 cases

That's why I bought a 650.

It's all about the Stainless Steel tumbling.

Decap, toss them in the tumbler - and 99% of the job is done.

A little trimming here and there and deburring, but the tumbler does SO much. They are just amazing.

Thanks for the kind words guys!

Ahhhhh I remember my first.

Congrats keep on keeping on, just be safe and follow the rules and you will be doing it for years to come. Now pass that knowledge along to the youngins

Congrats Blitzburgh! It's amazing shooting your first reloads. I remember being so focused on the cases and primers looking for signs of pressure that I didn't really do more than glance at the target through the spotting scope. Have fun shooting them off!

Yippe, Calguns reloading community grows stronger!

[Rimack]

Good stuff, have fun with those!

Congrats!
I myself just started reloading as well and I realize there is something surreal and relaxing about it.

Outstanding Blitz. I'm happy to see this.

Speaking from personal experience, it only gets easier after you successfully reload your first rounds, and especially after you successfully fire them.

[Bumslie]

Congrats!
