[QUOTE="Glock 40, post: 3349790, member: 32"] To the Op I wouldn't worry about it. Load a safe load and shoot it. I promise you lots of ammo has been fired like that without the reloader knowing they were just under. Most folks aren't measuring headspace I would imagine. It will grow a bit after being shot and you will be all good. As for reloading, it can be tedious for sure. I wouldn't enjoy loading pistol on a single stage. I have to be in the right mood and when I am I kick on some tunes and go to my happy reloading place. I do spend money to invest in things that make the parts I don't enjoy go easier and faster. Throwing powder and case prep are time consuming boring pieces. So I bought tools to help it go faster. I can tell you while I value my time as money. I can build a superior rifle load to what I can buy usually for well under half the cost of match loads. For pistol I wouldn't bother messing with it without a progressive press. Either way its extremely satisfying to see your loads make tiny holes in paper or ring steel. My son has done prep for me since I started messing with reloading. He turned 11 in January, and built his first AR. I helped him develop a couple loads for it. He successfully rung steel all the way to 640 yards the farthest our range goes. That is exciting for anyone with a gun you built and ammo you made. [/QUOTE]
