I went to the range today with a bag of 400 of my 9MM reloads. It was a great feeling when my wife and I fired them all off and every single one functioned flawlessly. Both my Glock 19 Gen 4 and her Springfield XD SC loved these rounds. And the bonus was they were more accurate than factory loads. I also score several hundred 45ACP cases from the fellas in the lanes flanking me and was able to find some Alliant Bullseye at the local Green Top. Great day!

I am definitely hooked on reloading now and have a great feeling of pride that I was able to make such great functioning and accurate ammo. I now know why everyone says you shoot more when you reload. It's because you want to burn up all that brass so you can reload it again. Reloading it is damn near as fun as shooting it!

Thanks to anyone who answered my newbie questions!

Well done, takes a while for your smile to fade.



It's a good feeling knowing you are independent of ammo market swings.

Congrats on your successful outing! It is a great feeling knowing you've rolled your own and are independent from having to scrounge stores for ammo.

It is a great feeling, and you saved money at the same time, or shot twice as much for the same cost... I reload more than I shoot... The stockpile is growing!

My wife would agree I need to join the Reloaders' Anoymous Meetings. At the same time she has not seen what some of my other reloader friends have. That are way ahead of me the the componants department. .

Nothing better than shooting ammo that YOU made for YOUR firearm. I have about 2000 rounds of factory ammo that I only plan on using when I need more brass or if SHTF.

Its addicting.

Amen.

Granted, if SHTF I'd prefer to use my reloads - I know exactly what they can do, whereas factory ammo can be iffy.

I should of been more specific. My reloads will be used before the factory in a SHTF moment, the factory will be there when the reloads are gone.
