Winter stretch

challenger 12s are about $112ish at Hummasons , winchester AA about $128. 20's are the same i think. Right now with the cost of powder and primers way up , reloading only makes sense if your doing 28s or 410 for shotshells . Unless your a really competive shooter and you want xxx ft per second and x only 8 1/2 shot . Challengers are so crappy a hull you cant really reload them with any sort of crimp.
I'm horrible enough with 20g , 410s for me would be torture hitting anything .

Weird.
9mm is a pretty simple round to load.
As long as your OAL is good considering the ogive of the projectile you're using...
Maybe your dies where out of spec?

More likely something I was doing wrong. Cases were fine, and even tried roll-sizing at one point. Could've been the propellant choice, but didn't have the patience to keep trying since the range was 2 hours away from my place.

At least they're made in Canada... elbows up!

Eek, maybe I should look into a press when I get back into trap.

Never tried Hummasons, went to Lawry's - sounds like with the components going up it's not worth it still.
 
Shot shells are one thing, but man...
Pre covid I paid $26 for 1000 cci pistol primers...
Nowa days... $125-$135 per thousand
