Just got back from the range, shot my first reloaded rounds of .40 S&W. Not a single malfunction, no signs of high pressure (looking at primer or for case bulges), found a load that is VERY accurate in my Glock 23. I think I'll load up another 100-150 or so for a longer range session this weekend with my Fiancee while she shoots the G23 with 40-9 conversion barrel.
Did a little price calculations too, and I am already realizing the benefits of reloading. The 70rds that I shot today only cost me a total of $14.4271 (prices of powder/primers/bullets including tax). That comes to $10.305 for a 50rd box. Walmart price for 50rds of .40S&W is around $16-$18 last I bought it, so I'm very happy with my savings and the improved accuracy!
Best of all, the cheaper price of ammo means I can go practice more! :D
Nice, congrats! Nothing like shooting your own ammo! Reloading is a means to shooting more! What load did you find that's accurate in your G23?Quote:

It might actually be the best grouping I've ever gotten with my pistol too! The load that was second was the 4.2gr WST. That one was about a 2.5" grouping, all rounds were equally spaced in a circle though. I'll play around with both loads more.
I also tried 3.3gr WST, 4.2gr WST and 4.7gr N340. I'll definitely play around with N340 more later, but for the time being I'll stick to the much cheaper WST and really nail down that load.
AND i had 155 lbs of mixed brass delivered ;)
I am running 155 gr JHP, Montana Gold Bullets over 7.0 gr of Power Pistol. These cycle well out of my P229, P250, Glock 22, and my Kel Tec Sub 2K.Quote:

I drank beer with a zombie as well as a couple of fingers 21 yr old Jefferson's Presidential Select. Now I am totally ruined on Bourbon.
...and we lit powder on fire and smacked primers with a hammer.
Got rid of the whole thing.. tore it all down including the studs.
I can rebuild it.. I have the technology.
