So, as a follow up to my T-Day shooting spree (http://castboolits.gunloads.com/showthread.php?220868-I-ve-learned-one-thing-I-really-kinda-suck-at-this-)&p=2498077&viewfull=1#post2498077) (<--Linky Thingy) I finally got out to the range yesterday and fired off my recrafted .45 ACP rounds. All I did is seat the rounds deeper by 0.006." Apparently, in more of a rush than I should have been in, I originally failed to check the chamber in the barrel of my pistol. Really stupid, actually.
This time around, though, the pistol worked just fine with all rounds. :-D
So, the only things left to check are accuracy (it wasn't great but I'll use the excuse that it was windy and cold and I didn't take pics, either) and leading (too cold to work on it in the garage yesterday). As soon as I can get the barrel swabbed out, I'll report back.
Dang, that feels good. Finally!
