Title: My first cartridge
Post by: JDArms1240 on September 09, 2025, 08:01:18 PM: This is the first cartridge I’ve loaded up on my own gear, in my own garage. I did a small little bit of loading on another persons bench, but now I’m glad to have my own. For this hunting season I’m only loading what I know, what I have experimented with in my rifle… but boy am i excited to do my own experimenting!

It's a great hobby and very rewarding when you connect rounds you loaded on game you pursue or targets in competition. I still am learning and it's still fun. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have.

Congratulations on your new found hobby.

Like I always tell people, “You will not save money loading your own because you will shoot more and buy more gear.”
It is enjoyable to do and it will most likely make you a better shooter.
