First ones

My buddy Jessie Elliot came up and showed me the ropes and we loaded up some .44 mags. Man this could be addictive lol.

It is very addictive.. I only load 9&40.. when I started it was all I did for days

Done some .30-06 today. 165 grain TTSX 49.5 grains of Imr 4064

Them are some good looking cartridges!

The really addictive part of reloading is when you see that first kill laying on the ground with ammo you loaded

I do think you’d get more consistency from IMR 4350 in that 3006

DW, You're well on your way!

^^^^ THIS is for real! The feeling of satisfaction and accomplishment has to be experienced to be appreciated. And knowing that you'll never again be at the mercy of a retailer for your ammo is priceless.

I'm about to embark on loading 44mag for the first time, just gotta get some H110. Alliant 2400 would be more awesomer but it's a true unicorn these days.

DW, what recipe are you using for your 44 mag loads?

Today I picked up a nice one owner Ruger 44 Carbine from 1984 and a nice used Ruger Souper Blackhawk 44 mag from 1993. Then I went across the county to Shooters Warehouse in Cullman to get 2lbs of H110 and 2 lbs of IMR 4227. I haven't had to buy any powder in over 10 years and I 'bout had a stroke BUT since they had powder I got enough to last a long time.
