i just successfully reloaded my first round of 9mm ammunition!!!!!!!!!:dancingbanana::dancingbanana::dancingbanana:


i loaded a 124 gr fmj with 4.1 grains of hodgdon titegroup....all looks good i can hardly wait to fire it;):cool:


thanks to everyone who helped answer my miullions of questions about reloading....:cheers::cheers::cool::cool:
 
You reloaded it but you haven't successfully done it until you fire it.

One day I will be all gitty like you after my first reload :) I will be even gittier if I survive the shooting of it too.
 
Good on you. Nothing like holding a couple of home made rounds in your hand. I use much the same recipe. May notice a little more flash and carbon than factory but all good.

If something sounds or feels wrong then check that barrel is unobstructed before pulling trigger a second time.
 
so many loads to choose from i just kinna picked a powder at the store that i could use with a variety of bullets...then i jsut used the starting load so i hope it works out;)....
 
I saved my first round that I made..LOL. Discovered the load that I want to use yesterday and rolled 450 rounds of .45acp last night. Now I am suffering withdrawl as I am out of bullets.

You'll learn soon enough that you NEED at least 2000 pistol bullets on hand at all times. And 2-3 lbs of each powder, and 3-4000 primers, and a bunch of extra cases. Of course this is for each caliber that you reload for.

I heard someone say sometime that reloading saves money, yeah right. I shoot a ton more, but I haven't saved my first dollar yet.
 
I had a similar feeling when I reloaded my first cartridge, but was much more reserved until I shot it.

After shooting it, I was happy I reloaded them properly, but not so happy with the groups (rifle), since then, I have made a lot of progress

Hope the same for you, cheers

Tell me about it. I am already heading out tomorrow for more bullets. I am not shooting much more but the stockpile is sure growing:D

You loaded them all up at the same weight? I tried 10 different loads before I decided what to go with.

Good for you Ben

I hope to join you in a couple of months I'm prepping my gun/reloading room now and when all the equipment arrives I'll be as gitty as you are.

I can't wait to load up some potent 10mm loads. My G20 is just begging for full power loads.

Good luck........
