The best part is you lived to tell about it! LOL!!
It gets very addicting trying to find that perfect load........then always looking for an improvement on it.
Well, I'm proud to announce that I successfully loaded and fired my first reloads: 6.5 mm -284 129 gr Hornady SST propelled by 43 gr. of H 4831. What a fantastic learning experience--and I look forward to learning more. Next on the menu will be some accubond and triple-shock loads. I'm waiting for my chronograph to get here before I extensively test the efficacy of the loads.

Your chrono numbers will always be a lot lower, than you thought they should or hope they would be, but when you first start reloading all you should be concerned with is consistency, meaning not a big spread between you highest and lowest FPS numbers, I remember the first round that I had loaded and fired off, there are not to many things that duplicate that rush.

RUMs are like woman in Stiletto heals, you know they are going to put you in the poor house, but that has never stopped anyone from pursuing them.
reload to save money? I think there is over $4,000.00 worth of equipment and supply's in the garage. Maybe half that in loaded ammo out there also.
The search for "the load" can add up!
A rush and let down at the same time is when the first load works.
"Some powder was spilled and a few primers went skittering across the floor, so it wasn't all flawless : ):
That sounds like one of my everyday reloading sessions.
