For my first post, I just wanted to say hello to everyone who uses this forum.
I've read many posts here the past few months and have learned quite a bit about reloading.
I purchased an RCBS Rockchucker this winter and began reloading 9mm. I currently own a
Ruger P85 MKII 9mm, and a Springfield XD Mod 2 9mm. I also just picked up an older Brazil Taurus 66 .357 Mag. so I'm going to have to start reloading .357 and 38 specials. I'll be asking lot's of questions and doing quite a bit of reading on here, and hopefully making new friends!
 
Welcome Prowler, from a fellow Pennsyltuckian friend. You are going to have a ball making your own ammo, and the ones you list are not too fussy. Welcome again, and congratulations on discovering a wider world of shooting pleasure, rolling your own.
 
Welcome, Prowler, I am a new handloader myself. This is a great place to learn and pick up tips. Join in the fun!
 
Welcome. There are a lot of knowledgeable people here. I have learned a lot from them.
Now a question for you. What do you think of your Taurus 66? I saw one and it felt really good in my hand and pointed well.
 
One thing that you will quickly discover is that finding plenty of free range pick-up brass in 9mm is easy, 38 Special is difficult, .357 Magnum is impossible.
 
Really? Wow, I didn't think they existed anymore ... :eek:

I was a Bengals fan for 25 long sad years ... it got to the point where if they weren't at the bottom and won some games, it was a good season. :oops:

I now just cheer for whomever team is winning ... makes life a lot happier. :D


It’s not hard to root for them considering how low the expectations always are.

I didn't get to shoot it yet, however I did own one back in the 80's and I really liked it. I wished I had never sold it, so when this one became available at my local gun shop I snatched it up.
 
I just started loading up some 357's today. I had titegroup and H110 on hand so I'm trying out the H110. Laser Cast 158gr with 14.1 grains H110 and o.a.l 1.570
May not be the best powder choice but it was listed on Laser Cast's load data. Hopefully get it out this weekend and see how it does.

If you don't get leading, h110 with very well with 357.
I like universal for mid range loads.
