My first bullet

[grandad of the woods]

I know this is pretty boring to you guys but I'm quite excited about my first ever reloaded round

One on left factory hornady .17 hornet 20grain vmax and one on the right my very own

Not boring at all! I well remember the sheer satisfaction and sense of achievement my first reloads gave me. In fact, I still get the same feeling when I reload. There's a great deal of pleasure to be had from it

Congratulations, incidentally

Well done! I loaded my first in1978 and the joy of doing it right is still present.

Only joking, it's a brilliant round.

Get yourself a L E Wilson in line chamber seater now and you’ll feel even more life when looking at all you soldiers lined up ready for action.

Fantastic, not boring at all, most remember with great delight the first time they got a load to work that they had made up themselves.

There was a very good post/quote on here once that was along the lines of -

“Now you too can spend thousands of pounds and hours of time producing ammunition to do the same job a box bought from a local gun shop would do”……

Only recently I bought factory ammunition in 222 and I was quite disappointed!

Disappointed in that it did exactly what I spent thousands on to achieve in the belief reloading would be not only better but cheaper as well!..... FFS.

I am impressed with that, looks lovely.
