Do they go off when you pull the trigger? They look good, wonder how they pattern in your gun?

guess you got a tumbler, nice and shiny. almost too pretty to shoot. did you name each round? let your ex fire the first few to test em out,lol. I wouldn't get too far ahead of yourself until you find the sweet spot of powder wt, oal (over all length) and group size. start say 2 gr's or so below max level and load 5-10 rounds going up 0.5 gr's at a time until you find the wt that shoots best. congrats, good work.

+2, you never know just how the rounds will go until you try them, it is a pain in the A?s if you have a load that will shoot a ten inch pattern at 20 yards, then you have to pull all the bulletts and reload them, so do maybe 10 rounds.. that gives a good example...
