I have made a few that looked just like that. They shoot fine. Lol

Weird, they must have spawned because I have some that look exactly like that! [emoji1787]Quote:

I think we have all made some of those !
I have also made some belted 9mm Luger !
I’ve definitely made my share of those.

Yep. Done that.
I've never reloaded pistol ammo until today. A few small mistakes 2 looked like those, but all in all I learned quick and handled it. .380 gold dots on 3.7 grains of AA#2 worked really well and shot great through my conceal carry.

Awesome!! Half the fun is learning!!
Mistakes happen, and as long as you learn from them, they were worth it :)Quote:

For sure!! Getting the Belling down is a little tricky, but once you get the hang of it, things go pretty smooth :)

Years ago I had never shot much in the way of lead bullets. My dad had, but for whatever reason stopped before I was born. So it was all jacketed for a long time. When you bell a case for lead bullets in my experience I feel you need to bell them a bit more than for jacketed. If not I get more bullet shaving. Maybe other guys don’t or they are a bit better than I. Just thought I would share.Quote:
