Hello from Kentucky

[mushraeddur]

I'm happy to see this site up and running.  I would love to see 10mm become more popular in the commercial industry for those of us who like this round.  I own two 10mm semi-autos:  my first was a glock 29, and my second a Kimber 1911 stainless target.  I love them both, but I am partial to the Kimber!

I hope to see this site grow exponentially!!!

Glad to have you. Keep on spreading the word.

mushraeddur, welcome to the forum!

Welcome.  We will have to stay in touch if you are near Louisville.  My wife's sister lives there, and I can think of nothing to brighten a family visit "vacation" than a trip to the range with a fellow 10mm lover.

Welcome from Ohio, wish Kimber would make more 10's available! They know how to make a 1911 rock the TEN!

[mushraeddur]

Indeed they do!

I live just south of louisville.  I don't get too much time to shoot usually due to the cost or work, but if it worked out at the right time, that would be cool.  My wife is getting me a lee classic turret so i can start working on reloading...though it may take some time gearing up and getting my supplies.  Teacher's salary isn't the strongest salary to support shooting hobbies.

Here is a tip to help your reloading dollars go a bit further.  Bartlett Reloaders is just down the street in Owensboro.  The surplus powder they stock, WC820, is generally considered to be the same as AA#9 by the guys reloading it.  They suggest using H110 data, but most people who have compared say it is faster than modern H110.

Eight lbs is $100, but would load about 5000 rounds of max loads of 10mm.  And if you go pick it up, you can save the hazmat fee.  If I make it out that way soon, we might be able to split a keg!  Don't hold your breath on seeing me before next spring though.  Home expansion is dominating time this summer.

LOL, I hear ya.  I'm just starting (ordering my press tomorrow). The wife keeps my funds on a tight leash so i'll be progressing slowly.  In fact, i'll be rereading your post when i get my reloading manual to make since of what you saying i'm so new.  Thanks for the tip...the only place i've found that carries a decent (by a newbs standards) is knob creek.  I'll check bartlet out!

When it comes to reloading slow is always better.

And don't be bashful about asking questions.  I like think its like the carpenter saying "measure twice, cut once".  With reloading its "ask questions, keep fingers".

Speaking of reloading manuals, be sure to get several and read them. The ABC's of reloading is a good book, as are manuals by Hornady, Speer, Lee and Lyman.  And it is a good idea to buy one new one each year.  Data changes over time, so keeping up is important.  Best bet is to try to use a manual of similar vintage to the powder you are shooting, as in 1989 powder, 1989 manual.

Good luck!

Thanks!  I have been reading a lot on the internet and i now have lee's manual and press and the lyman manual.  Just started reading the lee.  I'm only on chapter 10.  The press is set up.  I just need to get components (harder to find local louisville area primers and pwder than i expected...open to any suggestions on that) and get my knowledge base before i begin.  I definitely plan to go slow with this and do it right!
