It will really feel good when you put them down range.

Congrats, What are the specs?

Warned my brother inlaw about boo boo'ing an putting pistol powder in rifles. 40 gr's of bullseye would make a mess in a 308

WTG!! I actually remember shooting my first reloads - 45ACP done with a Lee handheld loader -- and I am still here!!

Interesting first reload's....Think I'd a started with a pistol

Gotta admit don't see that round much...making it a good candidate for reloading...

That ring at the bottom might worry me a bit...It aint a belted magnum is it?
