Just checked, quickly, to make sure the load felt right and cycled properly in my Glock, which it did. I'll go to the range next week and compare to the factory groups. I'm eager to fire a few...

Thats dissapointing info regarding the...
thank you...
Will harden the .40 cast bullets by quenching, just to be safe...and will likely sit for at least a month prior to loading. I'm still in the "accumulation" stage regarding brass.

Hey guys. Just getting re-started. Reloaded several years(15 yrs) ago with my older brother and a family friend. I didn't do any calculating, just handle pulling at that time. I'm familiar with the...
