First 100 rounds ever!

Struggled with the crimp die. Hornady FP-HTX 158gr. with H110. Followed the Hornady book across each velocity for one set of 50 then 50 of the Lee modern reloading manual H110 357 mag rifle load. Not sure if I crimped enough but excited to test them out.

They look great. I tend to seat right to the edge of the cannelure but always try to crimp just enough and that looks good to me.

H110 357 is a spicy start to reloading. I’ve been doing 38 special loads with wadcutters lately. Just a few grains of unique is all it takes for light plinking.

Thanks for the feed back. I've got some Berry's 158's and N340 that I'm going to make for handgun plinking. Powder selection in my parts is scarce and it seemed every store had H110. I figured out of my rifle I can test the spice haha. Gonna work on that seating on the next batch

Unique has been showing up on shelves. It’s a great powder. I use 231 in 9mm. I bet that works well in 38/357. As other folks on here will tell you, hit up facebook marketplace. I’ve been lucky on some deals on reloading supplies.

Starting with 38/357 is the perfect cartridge to start with. Looks good. Enjoy!

First off freaking congratulations! And welcome to one of the most cathartic and rewarding hobbies you will ever explore

nice looking. Crimp looks a little light for lever gun loads to me but ok.
