Is it a necessary piece of equipment? What are the pros and cons? Other then measuring projectile velocity. What other uses do the serve?
My shooting is purely recreational. No IDPA or any other competitions. I burn 200-300 rounds per week just having fun and another 200 or so rounds in serious practice.
Just got into reloading about a month ago. Right now and for the forseeable future will only be loading .45. My first 50 reloads ( on my own. Dad taught me some basics and helped me load 50 rounds about a month ago) went boom and nothing blew up. The load was 5.3gr W231 under Speer 200gr TMJ SWC. Cases were mixed and primer was WLP. Accuracy was muach better than anything I have done with factory ammo. I am shooting full size 1911.
