I've just completed my first handloads and intend to take them to the range tomorrow, but having never reloaded before in my life I have an irrational fear that I'm gonna burn the range down.
I have loaded 25 .357 magnum cartridges to the following specs: Remington brass measuring 1.280" after sizing, primed with CCI 550 primers, and loaded with a 125 grain Hornady XTP JHP bullet over 11.6 grains of Bluedot powder. Final OAL of all cartridges is 1.590".
Does this load seem too heavy for the first time out or am I worrying too much? Any feedback from experienced reloaders would be appreciated.
