Same here!IIRC, too young & stupid to be nervous ... all of my energy bound up in the exCITEment of it all.
Started loading Shotshells at 14 with no supervision. And 44 max loads at 18, again, no supervision.
Same here!IIRC, too young & stupid to be nervous ... all of my energy bound up in the exCITEment of it all.
I had the same guy selling me stuff.... At least his alter ego any way.I was feeling a little tense, to say the least...
I had taught myself how to reload by reading the Speer 14, lurking forums and watching you tube videos.
The salesman that sold me my reloading set-up, took advantage of my inexperience. Sold me some 90 gr, 9MM Luger bullets that he couldn't unload on anyone else.
At the time, I didn't know where to find load data for them.
I asked on another forum and used the starting load from some anonymous stranger on the interwebs!
I loaded up a whopping 5 bullets and set out to the range.
In the end, it all worked out... Don't do it the way I did it, kids
