New guy to the forum says "hi"
Greetings everybody. My name is Paul and it's official. I'm a certified gun nut.
I shoot so I can reload and I reload so I can shoot!
I started doing 9, 40 S&W and 45 ACP on my Classic turret press. Recently I added 10 mm to the mix and then 357 SIG as well!
I had never reloaded a "shouldered" cartridge before, so I added a single stage to the bench. Kinda slow, but it made me look at every step closely.
Shoot safe my friends.
Hopefully pictures are appreciated here as they are on so many other forums.

Welcome to an excellent and favorite reloading information site.
I too have a the same HF Bench in my den of iniquity. They are a good bench for a very good price. The only problem I see with yours is it to neat and organized.

Welcome aboard from the State of Jefferson. Nice looking bench, but too neat looking!

Thanks fellas! Find comfort in the knowledge that the above picture was taken shortly after the completion of the bench. I had only moved a few components in from the (former reloading room) garage. It is cluttered with brass and projectiles now!Old Scribe wrote:Welcome aboard from the State of Jefferson. Nice looking bench, but too neat looking!
Thanks again for the warm welcome that is more common on gun sights than any other type of forum.

Re: New guy to the forum says "hi"
Welcome, the 357 Sig is an interesting cartridge to load, being a bottle neck that headspaces on the mouth I had to not think of it as a small rifle case when I started loading for it. Got a tapper crimp die for it and some of the minor problem went away. Still want to try cast bullets in it. Seem say it cant be done, guess I need to prove it to myself one way or another and in a H&K pistol no less.
