Did my first reloads today

[leonard]

Finally got all my needed equipment together today

went downstairs to my newly built reloader room
room pick 1
room pick 2

Gun cabnet on the left still being built lol.

spent what seemed like along time deprimeing and washing/cleaning my brass
dryed it all out

planned out some safe loads
IMR 4064 .458" 2.540" 53.5g 1808 fps | With 405Grain Hard Cast bullets with and without Gascheck
as well as
IMR 4198 .458" 2.540" 43.0g 1868 | also with 405 Grain Hard Cast Bullets With and without Gas Check's

all bullets from canadas own bullet barn.. man these bullets are really hard.

Took quite awhile the 4064 seemd to need abit of compressing to actually get this min load into it. not much but an inch or so of stroke. just pushed slow and evenly. the 4198 went in smooth as butter tho.

tomorow we hopefully will get to see if i did it right heh.

You are well set up. The RCBS supreme press in particular will last a lifetime.

You are now "hooked" and will be adding new equipment and firearms on a regular basis.
