My first .40 loads, no pics

[Warhorse]

I loaded up my first batch of .40's today with my new Precision Delta 165gr FMJ-FP boolits. Federal once fired brass that I saved, CCI #500 Small Pistol primers, W-231 powder. Loaded five rounds @4.8gr, five more @5.0gr, forty more at 5.2gr. All of them functioned well, the 5.2gr loads recoil is comparable to factory loads, and a real "hoot to shoot". OAL 1.130"

Hot damn! You didn't even lose an eye, apparently.

Cup & turn?

Oooops!
They grouped better than factory, I still need practice though. With no indoor ranges any where near here, I am always a little out of shape with shooting, come the spring.
No cup & turn, but I noticed a long blink, and flinch, the first couple of rounds. :supergrin:
