It's really a cool experience, HB. Maybe we can help each other along the way. I only know a little bit at this point.

Well, I basically know nothing. I really put the idea on hold a while back because I didn't think Mrs HoneyBadger would give me the green light any time soon.

Reading shit in a manual or instruction sheet sucks...compared to someone showing you...IMO.

I think you're really gonna like it, and have some fun with it...I am. Some of it is very tedious and painstaking, and that makes the result that much more satisfying.

This ^^^. My budget was gone last May. Deal like you got might trigger wife unit to steer some of her budget to reloading. :beer:

With 25 grains of powder, you should be getting 280~ish out of a lb of powder.

I struggled using a hand primer tool the first time. Flubbed three whole primers and cases to get it right.

three primers isn't that bad until you realize they can blow up in your face. No big whoop.

What have you chronied that load at?

I had to see what was still left in the jug....slightly more than 1000 gr. are still in that container. I under estimated it....dang it.

Hey, I'm new at this,....whaddya expect?

That doesn't mean that I don't need more though.. :D
