Regarding reloading, I wonder if the 110gr bullets used for reloading .30 carbine would work for plinking ammo?

I don't currently reload, but been interested. Might be a good one
to learn on? :-)

Pistol cartridges are easy to start with. Since there is no bottleneck
to wor ry about,you can buy carbide dies and not worry about sizing
lube.

<snipped lots of GREAT info!!!>

WOW! Thank you! Since I've not done any loading, I wasn't sure what all
would be required... I've been saving the .45 Colt brass from my wife's
Judge, in the event that I load some 'cowboy rounds,' so sounds like
those would be decent to do as well (straight walled).

Thank you for the info! Gave me a lot to chew on!

The RCBS Rebel Plus reloading kit has all you need to start. A scale is important, and the cheaper kits do not come with one. Well, Lee has a kit
with ascale which is cheaper, however the RCBS press and equipment is better built. I have some Lee items and they'll do the job, but the RCBS stuff
feels more solid and will last longer.

WOW! First, sorry for the delayed reply! The BBS I normally
log into has been down, so I'm checking ohters for echomail...

Another possible contender is the brand new S&W 'CSX' pistol which is
an all-steel hammer gun, even smaller than the Shield, and also in
30SC...

Hmm... I missed the fact that it's going to be available in 30SC
- thought it was 9mm only! Will be going to check that out now...

Ooops, my mistake. Just checked and it is indeed only 9mm.

Maybe they will though - would be a good platform!

Okay - went to a local show last month and 'put my hands' on a
CSX finally - too small for my hands...

The same table had an M&P full size 9mm with a flat trigger and
an optics plate! Now THAT felt good!!!
