First squib load!

[Kman]

Up and running again!! I used the rcbs charge-master and it threw light now and again, having the balance beams helped a bunch. The little electronic scale is a new one, exactly like the one that failed. Pulled all the questionable cartridges and reloaded them.

Had a squib in a glock 21.
Dowel rod and a few taps aint rocket science

Reloading seems like a whole lot of work and hassle after reading this thread. I think I'll just stick with factory loads.

Factory ammo is great and I still buy it but right now I'm able to reload ammo at 8 cents per round. During times like this it's great to able to crank out some boom pills to take to the range.

I couldn't go out and shoot a couple boxes of factory ammo right now, I'd throw up thinking about the cost....BUT I can shoot my reloads!!!

505 for me. I have 3 manual measures - Pacific, RCBS and a Lee PPM. I couldn't do the electronic thing.

I found after using the rcbs charge master it makes it a lot easier. It will get you close, but not perfect. Nothing beats the old school scales for exact measurements.

Squib cleared with no damage and it was well worth $40! I’ve got my rifle and test rounds ready to go for Sunday!!
