What did you do in the reloading room today?

I produced my first round ever. I'm grinning like a mule chewing barb wire! . .45 acp on my new Dillon 550. Can't wait to go shoot some of these.
On a side note, thanks to a lot of you bums for posting info to help a guy out. I appreciate it!

Why does this come to mind when I read your post?

Holy Smokes, glad that's not mine.

i didn't do squat on the bench today but this thread is quickly becoming one of my favorites. Thanks for starting it, very motivational.

Cleaned and primed about 100 peices of .223 still got a bit more to go.

Damn you! Keep your negative vibes away!

Ive read, watched, taken notes, referenced, cross referenced and triple checked. I had to pull that damn lever eventually!

Loaded 100 rounds of .45acp single stage. Trying some W231. Went to BluCore today to shoot them... 3 hour wait, said fuck that and went home to watch Batman.

Just razzing you a bit. Everyone who loads had never done it until the first time they did it. I've been doing it for over 20 years and haven't destroyed anything yet.

You'll be just fine.

For several years, my ammo stash has been split between the garage and the basement, and here and there. Stuffed into dozens of ammo cans, just in general disarray. I've been schlepping it all into the garage, and resorting and recanning it all. DAMN, what a chore! I've got way more than I thought, yet I'm sure many of you have lots more. I just have so many different calibers, and different loads in each, keeping them sorted and stored is a challenge. Then I need to do the same with the two shitloads of brass I have in buckets......a dozen calibers, from pure filthy to polished and primed, and all stages in between.

It's hell being an anal, disorganized packrat and hoarder. Yet I'll still pick up every damn case I see.....

I suffered from this once, so I went out and shot the hell out of everything that I had. Clean slate, dirty brass but at least you know where everything is and had one hell of an afternoon!

All good my friend. However, I will be mildly annoyed if my Wilson Combat blows in 2.

I started with 45 ACP too. Being a relatively low pressure round and a nice big case that you can see into makes it perfect for beginners in my opinion. Good luck, but I remember well the pucker factor on touching off my first loads
