First round of shooting my reloads and I came back with all my arms, eyes and fingers.
I shot about 30 .38 Special, fairly light loads (pretty smokey I'd say) but they all went bang and exited the barrel. I shot them out of my Ruger (I'm not as good with it as I am my Smith, but its stouter and cheaper) and they grouped pretty decent. I'll try some more out of the Smith next time.
Also shot about 25 or so rounds of 45-70 from the Browning 1886...that was fun. I've not had the gun long and only had about 30 rounds through it before today. These were medium loads (not Trapdoor loads, not No. 1 loads) and it was a hoot. Makes me want to try one of the HOT 305gr loads just to see what it feels like.
Anywho, I was glad to have a successful day at the range with my home brew ammo.
