    Welcome to the forum, JShipwash! Always happy to see new members with new information and experiences to share. Now, just because you don't have a .40 doesn't mean you can't get one! It could be destiny--some things are just meant to be!

    Nice looking loads. I've got several presses, but a pair of RCBS Rockchuckers from the '70s does most of my rifle work. I think they'll still be used long after I'm gone.

    Now you are on a cast bullet site , so when hopefully cast is in your future please show us those also , I load jacketed and I load cast also , I find casting smelting powder coating and cleaning brass to be relaxing and enjoyable , My younger children are brass scroungers as am I , even though I have no firearm in a caliber I still collect and clean . Good to see your examples brass looks good keep it up.

    Howdy, welcome to the CB.GL forum. I think every reloader collects brass in calibers they don't load. No different than picking up a penny when you see one.

    First comes a bunch of free brass . Next comes a bullet mould...a Lee 2-cavity is almost free ,
    after that a set of inexpensive reloading dies comes along ...after that you are required by law to buy a gun to shoot those reloads in...yes you are required...unwritten law maybe , but you have to do it !

    I went through this with 9mm Luger ... got a Walther P-38 now !
