This is moving faster than my high school relationship.
And will definitely be more expensive!

124gr .356 for 9mm. My reloading mentor already casts fishing weights so we both took a dive into this. Having trouble with the powder coat, if I can't figure it out soon I'll be posting up another thread.
Been meaning to create an account there but haven't gotten around to it. Got the powder coat to work and ended up getting some loaded tonight. Another box of 50, this time 125gr over 5.3gr of power pistol COL at 1.08 which is what I think my last load was at. Will post pictures when I get a target to go with it. Also set aside a handful of bullets to lube with alox which is drying now, I'll probably load up some of those here shortly and see how I like lubing vs coating.Maybe you need to pay a visit over to Cast Boolits.com, they can help with the powder coating.
<chuckle> I can still remember squeezing off that first 7,92x57 round in my K98k BringBack a little over 50 years ago (actually, it occurred about 500yds to the East, in front of the old 18th century farmhouse, of where I now sit typing this). The feeling was a-MAZ-ing!So I just shot my first reloads and I haven't giggled like this and years.
That was my first reload too. From a K98k bring back as well. A little over 10 years ago I remember going to pick up a box of 8mm Mauser and thinking "this a rip off", with underloaded rounds to boot. One isle over was a Lee classic kit and all the necessary components. Picked that up, did some reading and have been reloading since.<chuckle> I can still remember squeezing off that first 7,92x57 round in my K98k BringBack a little over 50 years ago (actually, it occurred about 500yds to the East, in front of the old 18th century farmhouse, of where I now sit typing this).

Welcome to the Club!
Here is a pic of my original 1968 Lee Loader and Lyman FL resizer.

Thanks for the warm welcome guys, can't decide if it feels more like a small town welcome or a cult recruiting.
So got some new dies, a set of Lee 32 H&R plus their factory crimp dies. Going to run with the titegroup I already have but would like to add another powder, any suggestions?
Load was 115gr JRN over 3.9gr of titegroup with Winchester primers. The COL I wrote on the box got smudged and I can't read it so I'll have to load up some more to get that, I haven't touched the dies since so shouldn't be a problem.

I intend to work my way up to shooting out to longer distances but I haven't been able to shoot more often than once a month for most of the year...
Me, too! I offer to sweep up their brass for them as well - you know, just to help them out.Sometimes a tear comes to my eye when I see non-reloaders visit the range with only 50-100 rounds in a Walmart bag. So very touching to see. I've found that the best way to share their agony...
is to take their brass home with me.
