[QUOTE="Disgruntled Computer Tech, post: 747441, member: 2350"] I just started reloading 40 cal myself. Today, I shot my own first reloads. I was nervous at the first pull of the trigger, but after the first mag, I felt fine. I feel that it is very easy to be safe. I do use a set of reloading trays. First, I take my polished cases and fill up my tray. Second, I run them all through the resizer/deprimer. After I do each step I flip them the opposite direction in the tray. The next step is to prime all the cases (I use the hand primer). Next step is to charge all the cases with the powder dropper. I usually check ever 5th to 10th round to make sure the powder weight is the same. After I do a complete tray of charged cases, I visually inspect each one with a flashlight to make sure they are all showing the same power amount. With the type of powder I am using, it would be very easy to tell if you double charged as you probably wouldn't even be able to seat a bullet because the power would be almost to the top of the case. The last step is to seat the bullets into the charged cases. I am using the Lee single stage anniversary press kit right now until I get a little more serious. Maybe then I will step to a Dillon progressive machine. :D [/QUOTE]
