You did much better than me buying the exact same machine new. The
folks here on RCM were quick to help with all my newbie issues. I went
pretty slow at first, made a few bad bullets and got a case stuck in
the sizing die, couple other snafus. After that, crank 'em out about
as fast as you can shoot 'em.

DAMN! I was hoping I was going to have to buy a new firearm...I'm
disappointed. I have collected about 600 .40 cases when I pick up my 9mm
and .45. I hate to see those cases go to waste, so I'm looking.

Seriously, you have good equipment. Take your time, triple-check
everything, make a quality product without regard to speed. ALWAYS keep in
mind that a squib can cause the worst of problems! If a squib goes without
detection and leaves a slug in the barrel and another round fires off behind
it, it can destroy the gun, your hand and your face! Get a "Powder Cop"
die.

9mm are tapered cases so don't be surprised that they are a bit tougher to
resize than you'd think. Hornady "One-Shot" case lube is the best I've used
and I don't feel like I'm going to break anything resizing 9s.

There are a few reloaders here and most are much more knowledgeable than I.
Post any questions and I'm sure you will get good answers.

How many apples do you explode each year?

(I bought a bag of the most beautiful Gala apples last week. I was SO
disappointed! The first one I ate was dry, not quite mealy and not sweet
and rather tasteless. They didn't look old at all! What's the secret? We
made a pie that turned out very good but I'd rather just eat a fresh, juicy,

Buy Cortlands...?

The secret to having no quality problems? I'm still working on that
one. let me get back to you when I get enough experience, this is only
my thirtieth season.

It took my Dad a lifetime to learn how to manage his 50 or so trees,
in the end he subscribed to a mailing list to commercial apple growers
from the Cooperative Extension Service on the emerging issues
(nutrients, pest control, etc.) that would need to be addressed each
week as they arose, it really did take constant effort. He only
started to get good yields the last few years.

He did it for fun, so would sell them at the end of the driveway for a
pittance, along with sweetcorn, squash, potatoes and onions. It was a
great conversation starter, which was mostly his goal (besides playing
in the garden all day).

When he passed away, we couldn't hardly get anyone willing to come out
and pick them, not food banks, no-one...they'd only accept the apples
if they were picked for them, which Mom couldn't do, and all us kids
are too far away. So other than what we picked for ourselves, and the
one or two groups who came out and picked a few bushels at most, they
ended up all just rotting...and maybe feeding deer and the occasional
black bear.

Hopefully the new owner of the property (another Ag professor) will
have as much fun with them as Dad did.

My wife now has a handful of trees, but doesn't have the time to give
them the weekly attention they really need for a good harvest.
Between that, and the late hard frosts, we've not grown enough for a
pie most years. Peaches seem to be a lot less work, for all that the
trees we have don't seem to like our winters much. They'll either
grow in healthy abundance or they won't...they don't seem to need the
constant management that apples need to thrive.

you think I got a good deal? Now all I have to do is learn to use it.


Well you didn't get screwed. I hope you have a powder measure to check charges.

What? You mean you don't just fill the cartridge to the top and cram
in a bullet??? Seriously, I think one is included with the stuff and
if it's not I WILL get one. It should be here any time now. UPS'
website said that it was "Out for delivery". I hope he gets here
before I have to leave for my Lions Club meeting.

Wes means a "powder scale". You can get a Lee scale for $20 that will do
the trick. If the load of stuff is all the guy's reloading equipment, there
will be one in there...most likely.

Yes, I meant scale.

I checked, and there is a scale in the package. I also have a digital
scale that I use for weighing gold and such, so I guess I'm set. I've
finally started putting all the stuff together so, hopefully, it won't
be too long before I'm reloading. Got to get some powder and bullets
first.
