Hello all,
Well, I found this forum when I was surfing a few days ago. I've never seen a more helpful and friendly environment! I learned a lot just by poking around a little before I decided to join.
A litle about myself:
I've been shooting and reloading for about 10 years now, mostly target/varmint rifle type stuff. I just punch holes in paper, though. I recently picked up a "tactical" springfield XD9, and began reloading for it on the ol' rockchucker. Not being a pistol shooter, I really sucked for the first 500 rounds. After about 2,000 rounds, I suck less. I've read a lot about pistol shooting, but really it seems like lots of practice is the only way to get better at it. I like the challenge of learning a new skill, so I'm enjoying the process of learning to shoot a pistol better. Someday I might like to check out IDPA/IPSC/UPSPSA.
Also, I'm seriously thinking about a new 550B... loading pistol ammo on a single stage press takes FOREVER!
