Addicted...

[Black Mountain Industries]

Well I finally got out to the range with some of my own and first reloads... And as I'm sure you all can tell by the title I am addicted. Starting out slow with only a Lee Classic Loader, its very slow, but nonetheless I have been wasting away the last couple hours with my "Whack-a-mole" loader. Im already thinking about whats next in my setup... maybe a bottle capper to use instead of a hammer, or a hand press? Tumbler? any ideas?


Specs: 9mm 115gr rn fmj
Powder: Titegroup
Powder gr: 4.3
Casing: F.C., WIN, Blazer
Primer: Federal spp
OAL: 1.145
Handgun: S&W M&P 40 w/ 9 mm barrel


Anything I left out?

yep makes you never want to do factory except for carry

Saves money, more accurate, and softer shooting if you want

lots of different loads to try. It really is another hobby

Exactly, i found that even for my first try at it. I found them to be more accurate then some factory loads.

Once bitten it's hard to ignore the flexibility it offers. "Whack a Mole" I love that frigging game at Chuck-E-Cheese!

This "carry thing" seems to have caught traction here on the ODT again.

That is awesome! Congratulations! You will now be chasing components for the rest of your life. LOL

I trust my reloads for "carry" way more than I do a factory load! Never will carry anything but my own loads!

I trust my own loads better as well. I'm just not sure how much I would trust a jury or plaintiffs attorney if I ever had to use them. I normally just refer to the local P.D. for my carry ammo.

Yeah, like bullets are NOT made to be lethal at all ... except when you reload them?!

I guess I will be giving up my range membership as well ... because if I practice a lot then I MUST be
a good enough shot to only wound an attacker if I wanted to .... otherwise it MUST be MURDER if I were
to actually kill them?!
