Congrats but I have to say those are the weirdest looking bullets ever

I thought the same thing when I bought some lead wadcutters and loaded them for the first time. My Speer manual states they are to be loaded flush with the case mouth. I left a hair above the case mouth because I felt better about the bullet rather than the case mouth being the load-bearing portion of the cartridge while in storage. They work great!

Haha, I wouldn't put it past myself. I had my buddy Moe come over and help me. If he wasn't there, I probably would of loaded them backwards.

I did however put one primer backwards and somehow managed to install one sideways........

i've done that many a time, but that's the problem with lee pro 1000's, the primer feed system.

you can load those backwards for a mean hollow point. i wish i had some when i did some hollow point testing in gelatin.

Just tonight I put powder in the scale, weighed the load, took the pan and the funnel to put the powder in the case, poured the powder. Powder all over the bench...I forgot to put the funnel over a case...:slap::HR::bangHead:Laugh2
