It was such a nice day…

I actually got out to the garage and loaded the Lehigh Defense 9mm XD bullets I bought back when it was too cold.
I loaded them up with CFE Pistol because I had some and it was in their load data.
I used the last of my pre-panic WSP primers. One brick of early panic SP primers left then I’ll probably start shooting factory ammo.
I was thinking about it and added everything up and counting nothing for my time or brass I spent about 80% of the cost of factory ammo loading these myself.
It is fast approaching the point that loading for non-precision (plinking or short range) ammo is not cost effective.
It was nice and relaxing to spend time at the bench though, and the cartridges came out looking nice and interesting.

Very nice.

It was my first time loading all copper bullets. I was expecting the crimp to be finicky but it was a non issue.
The price tag on the primers was a bit meloncolic. (Sp). I won’t see tat again for a while.
