Success! all rounds went bang!!

Took all my first loads to the range this morning and all worked well. 3.7 gr seems to be enough to cycly my gun. One thing i noticed is it is a bit smokey. These boolits are tumble lubed and i think it may be from the lube on the face of the boolit. Next round i'm going to wipe their backside.

Congrats:Fire: What gun were you loading for?

Glad to see you squeezed off a few of your own. Feels good doesn't it!!! :D

As for the smoke............TL, especially if it is straight, will spoke a bit and is quite normal.

Congratulations Shagg. I'm just getting into this myself. I only have about 2,000 rounds loaded so far. It's fun.

Let us know if that helps any. I can't shoot indoors due to the massive smoke belched from my 9mm and 45.

You didn't say 3.7gr of what worked well. Some powders tend to smoke some especially with light loads and some powders when mixed with LLA tend to smoke more also. Not saying LLA doesn't smoke but if these are your starting loads which they should be, some powders will smoke less what you crank it up abit. Well congrats on your first loads!

good job! blast away fast enough and someone will think your shooting black powder. :)

oopse, sorry all, it was 3.7 gr. bullseye for my 45 acp. I had another thread going that questioned if 3.7 was enough. Guess i was a little excited. Now i need to find someone to trade some cases, i got hundreds of what i don't need and 150 of what i do need. I'm going to try to get about 1k rounds here ready to go.

Thanx to all who guided me!! I like it here!!!!
