I have made quite a lot of threads/posts lately with lots of questions. I started my journey of reloading on my own (no one I trust in my area) about 10 or so days ago.
This forum is TRULY amazing and has helped me immeasurably. The help and guidance I've gotten here is world's beyond in quality and character. Super thankful to everyone that helped me and answered 5000 questions.
I've been on a number of gun forums and I shall put it nicely when I say they rub me the wrong way. The people on them generally are too stuck in their ways, get pissy about asking things, blah blah. I was telling my friend Cast Boolits is quite literally the coolest most supportive gun forum I have ever had the pleasure of being on.
I thought maybe it might be fun to show the "end result" of all this razz-ma-tazz :-P I know comparatively speaking to those with a lot of experience this may be nothing more than a midnight snack, however I feel very good about it and it has seated the first stones of my journey very firmly.
I'm very, grateful, thank you!!! Next up will be 44 magnum, and 45-70.
TBH I don't know which round I liked more... they had nearly identical velocities, identical deviations... the difference in accuracy is probably me trying to shoot a target meant for scoped 22's with a lever gun.

Edit: I forgot to mention, I looked over the primers and such and they seem fine. The velocity was very predictable at ~1047-1052... but I checked anyway.
