OK, I would love to say that I put a few more rounds through this initial shot, but the fact of the matter is that this was my first shot and the best that I did.
Ken has been working very hard getting reloads made for each of our calibers. He just finished the test rounds for my 686 revolver in .38 caliber. He's waiting to work on the .357 rounds for me until I'm sure that I want to use them.
Again, for months, Ken discussed the various types of reloading presses that he wanted to get. He wasn't sure he wanted to pay the money for the Dillon X650, but I'm really glad that he finally listened to me. Even with careful checking, he is able to make 250 rounds in 45 minutes.
So, he finished getting some test rounds ready for me, and he was very disappointed that I wanted to wait until today to fire them. The very first shot was THE BEST! Although I used to compete with this exceptional pistol, it has definitely been a LONG time, and I was so very proud of myself for pulling this off. I looked at Ken and commented that this was an awesome shot. Ken was inspecting the brass, looked up and said, "not bad." I was astounded. "Not bad! Really?!"
Of course, if I had put two or more rounds through the same hole, then it would have been more impressive, but I was very happy with it after not seriously shooting for so many years.
We had a buddy on the range with us while I was testing the rounds. He was rather small and didn't want to be social, but he ran across my feet a couple of times.
