First, thanks to all here. I've learned that sportsmen love to share their knowledge and this holds true with the shooters and hunters. So, I loaded ten rounds last week (44 mag) and took them to the range. I don’t know anyone who reloads so I'm teaching myself. I am a very careful guy and I am determined to be even more careful when reloading. I've read lots and one thing I've learned is in big calibers, if the crimp is not right, the bullet not fired in the cylinder could work its way out of the case and lock up the cylinder. I loaded my SBH with five factory rounds and my first reload last in line. I took a shot and checked my round. It was fine. Four more times and everything looked great. Now, here goes… I was shaking …. It went boom, left a hole in the paper, and I had all my fingers. Life is good.
So I did this three more times and I had six rounds left. I loaded all six and fired away. It is worth all the trouble, time, research, and money to make your own ammo.
Ten rounds and about six hundred dollars later (that’s $60 per round) I know they will get cheaper and I am in love with my new hobby. I started this to shoot for less money. I’ll be picking all you brains later to shoot better. So anyways, thanks again to all you guys that like to share what you know. Rick
