    My Very First Reloads

    I got to try out my reloads for the first time today.

    .45acp
    230gr Plated LRN
    5.5gr Accurate #2
    CCI 300 primers
    Winchester White Box once fired brass
    OAL 1.240"

    Systema Colt 1959 DOM
    7 Yards



    Functioned flawlessly.

    Also shot a mag full of my second reloads to check for function. I was worried about hollow points not feeding on this GI style gun. No problems at all.

    200gr Hornady XTP
    6.5gr Accurate #2
    CCI 300 primers
    Winchester White Box once fired brass
    OAL 1.225



    I would have kept shooting but hammer bite was turning my hand into hamburger.

    I fear that until a select few can profit from not treading on me, nothing will change.

    Jeez, thats some pretty good shooting!! Doesn't it feel even better when you know you "rolled your own". Nice job.

    I think I could do better if I could "see" the sights. Right now all I can do is kind of even out the blurry bits and squeeze.
