Getting started

Post by Olsen »

Made the first test rounds today, can't wait to try them, but I wait a bit, because I need to get my barrels cut down........

But nice to be reloading :dance:

The first one is always exciting and an achievement. The next 10,000 will be a learning process. Which will be both rewarding and frustrating. After that you'll gladly buy factory ammunition (when available & cheap enough) because it's bloody easier. :D

Anyway congratulations and well done. :handgestures-thumbup:

Cheers

Good stuff Olsen.
Reloading is a great hobby. Really satisfying when you find an accurate recipe.

The 308 is the ideal cartridge to begin loading for, you will have a lot of fun with it.
