    Not changing the depth of your seating die from .40 S&W to 10mm = reloading fail,


    The rest came out great. Can't wait to go test them at the range

    I would pay to see something like that lol.

    also I've got a few of those in 9 :D I should invest in one of those bullet pullers

    I thought about it, but the cost of a bullet puller is ~$15, and the most I have invested in 1 bullet is about $0.35 (less if the brass is used). I'm not sure the math ads up on buying one right now.

    Not saying I won't eventually, but I don't need one at the moment.

    That looks like the first bullet I reloaded for my colt 45. I didn't adjust the dies at all and just cranked the handle til' it stopped. I decided never to pull it and to save it 'cause it was the first round I ever made. Now I reload for 9 calibers and haven't had a single hiccup since.

    One thing, guys.....do NOT toss defective rounds into the trash! Take 'em by your local PD - they'll take them for safe & proper disposal w/o a question asked.
