new to reloading
« on: February 08, 2014, 03:17:25 PM »
Well I finally took the plunge and started to reload for a 223 handi  that I got as a barrel from northkid area months ago and put on BC frame. Pete talked me into it always recomending it. Him and Dinny that is anyway I loaded a few with the only powder could find H335 over again only bullets I could find some 55gr FM hornadys and was really surprised at the accuracy that I got on first try .5 shot group  about 1/2 inch or less with one called flier about an inch off at a hundred yards 4 shots touching .really appreciate you guys talk me into anew bad habit to go along with my hand I addiction

   Thanks JDL

Congrats.  My .223 bull barrel was exactly the same.  I found it heavier than I wanted, so I went to a Superlite Barrel, which does heat up some, but the first two are always dead on.  ;)  If I don't need to shoot a bunch, it'll do almost the same group size.  8)

That's kinda like thanking someone for introducing you to meth.  First get 'em shooting Handi's, then show 'em the basics of reloading.  Once you're hooked there's no going back.  I've been handloading over 50 years, now up to 5 Handi's in 22Hornet,.223, 7mm Mauser, .44Mag, and now .444Marlin, plus 2 other single shots.  Where does it stop?  GW

I am a newbie hand-loader too! It really is a sickness. I have already started buying Dies for rifles I don't even have! I just cannot stop myself! Is there a Hornady 12 step program? HA! I will be loading 3030 Win this afternoon. I prepped about 100 cases yesterday evening. Last week I made a trade for an electric 20# pot (with bottom pour), 60# of pure lead ingots, 6 bullet - 9mm mold and about 1000 cast 9mm bullets. I think the REAL trouble is just getting ready to start! Woo-hoo.

My quandary, I personally, don't think I have enough Handi's but, I know I have more Handi's than I really need or should have.
