TerryLively Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Hi everyone. I'm a female from the Texas Hill Country north of San Antonio. I've actually been shooting on and off for about 30 years, however last year decided to get more into competition. I found a local women's shooting club, A Girl and A Gun, joined last year, and several of us shoot USPSA. I've done 3 USPSA matches, along with a steel last month, and am really digging it. Because of the ammo situation, I decided to give hand loading a try. I bought a Dillon 650 (go big or go home, I always say), took an NRA metallic reloaders class, and spent some time with friends who reload. So I really like the idea of loading my own ammo...but it's scary as hell. I loaded some light loads last week, went to the range to test them out, and they cycled perfectly, with nice groups. I'm not even worrying about PF right now, just being careful and doing things correctly. I'm shooting a 9mm XDm. Anyway, that's where I'm at. I've noticed that every time I do online research, I end up here at this forum...lol So decided I better come out of hiding and say hello.

Sarge Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Welcome to the forums. It's true that all roads eventually lead to this place. Enjoy loading and shooting. There are a bunch of very helpful shooters hanging out here who are very generous of their time and talents. Good luck and stay safe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steviesterno Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 welcome to the fold! If you ever head up to DFW area, I'm working on getting a school team to shoot some USPSA, Steel, multi gun, and more. You'd be more than welcome to join us!

Ask him about the ones that didn't work then.... And think of it this way, if he's done 200k rounds, most could be 100,001....:0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BSeevers Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Sounds good, don't forget to chrono, that's how you really know where your load is at. Checking your fired brass is good too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
