[QUOTE="MyMonkey, post: 2075893, member: 3945"] I will certainly do this. That is the one caliber I ordered dies for thus far. Thanks for the kind offer. PM inbound. Been sick lately so I will wait until my germs die off! :) Gotta love this forum. I have debated whether or not to order this but have not decided one way or another. Seems fairly study to me as it comes but may reconsider after some use. I have a nice strong bench to attach it to. Well folks. I am on the road to reloading. I have now procured Bullets as referenced above. As well as the following from the wonderful J&K Bullet Casters LLC in OKC!! 1000 Small Pistol Primers 9mm Brass (I assume they need to be tumbled thus will procure a tumbler and media) 1 Pound of Winchester WST Ball Powder. (I had my mind set on Unique as mentioned above but J&K Mentioned this as being his favorite beginner reloader powder so I caved) Thanks to those of you who have provided hints along the way. I Am learning all I can and am far away from actually creating a real bullet but will do so with your help. My procurement list now demands: Calipers Tumbler thing Scale (Not digital I think) Book Anything else? I have been advised to try the 550 as a single stage press at first. Now, I assume you do so by placing only one piece of brass in there at a time for each stage. So leaving the powder dispenser off at first you deprime all brass, then prime all brass, then add powder dispenser and powder all brass and flare the opening, then bullet in all brass and crimp then done? So using one stage at a time for all rounds to be made then. [/QUOTE]
