Well today was my first dummy day since I started reloading 6 months ago. I just picked up some 9mm lead bullets from McDonalds in Marion. They are about the only place within a reasonable drive from Ft Wayne that has 500 round boxes or more, at least that I know of. Descent prices at $35/500 and he has always been great to deal with. Funny thing though, a very lightly used Taurus PT1911 walked away with me too. That was unexpected, but price was right and it was stainless. You can never have too many 1911s.
Anyway back to the story, well I was setting up the dies for proper OAL, I was using a round without powder to setup the dies in the turret (you see where this is going huh). Well I got it all setup and somehow that round must have made its way into the 10 I loaded to test the actual load.
But luckily I noticed that the pop wasn't quite right so I did not shoot off a round after. That would have made my gun very unhappy with me. So I got to shoot 4 rounds through it. I did shoot the PT1911, very nice.
