Re: Nervous
I STILL remember shooting my first pistol reloads..!!
I made several dummy rounds, took them apart, made more...just for the practice....
I finally got the nerve to put a primer and powder in them and shoot'em...It was a 38 sp round in a 357 pistol. ( I thought that would be safe to start with, a heavy frame pistol )
I even did the "Tree Trick"....Stand behind a tree with the pistol wrapped around the other side in one hand and pulled the trigger with eyes closed..!!!
It all went as per plan...After that, I was HOOKED..!!!
I stand back now and laugh thinking about that.
Follow the book data very close....Pay attention to details, and have fun.
A good powder scale and calipers are your friends.
