Success with our first reloads

[AIRret]

All the bullets went bang and the gun didn't blow-up!

The recoil was a little lighter then WWB, but then we were staying at the low end of the powder recommendations. But the important thing was that we had NO MALFUNCTIONS.
The grouping was a little bigger than WWB but all in all it was a great experience.
Thanks for all the help!!!!

So it's back to the reloading bench later today.

Does anyone know if "Montana gold" bullets are any good? We are thinking of ordering some FMJ.
They sponsor some international shooting teams so their product can't be all bad.

Been using the MGB 124gr hp in the 9mm and 165gr hp in the .40S&W. Happy with both. Just ordered 2700 more 40cal.

Thanks Scrambler.
Yesterday we received Bayou bullets in 9mm and 230 gr 45's

But after more reading and input from you and others we will be ordering a case of 9mm 115gr. and 230 gr 45's

We want to try a variety and see what works for us.
Plus, "OBVIOUSLY" we are stocking up while we can......

Now we need more small primers for the 9 and large for the 45.

Eventually, we will also load 38 and 357, we have 250 berry's in 357 and some magnum primers.

If you can find Blazer brass or Speer Lawman 45 they use small primers. I've been using those two almost exclusively for a couple years. Sent most of my large primer stuff to Old Lincoln.
With the current primer situation it might be best to stick with the large though as they seem to be easier to find.
