My first cartridge
« 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!

Nice.  It's a hobby unto itself.  I enjoy loading as much as shooting.

It’s a fun hobby to get into. I load everything I shoot, pistol, rifle and shot shells all gauges and lengths.

I've been loading my own for a little over 57 years.  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.

It does give you a sense of accomplishment when you do it yourself and it Works.
