[QUOTE="daniel1daniel2, post: 2076477, member: 24434"] Here is one "book" for you [url]http://data.hodgdon.com/main_menu.asp[/url] I use it quite a bit to verify loads between books and they update it quite often. I prefer a beam scale/non electronic scale but that is just me. Always check at least the first 10 powder drops to make sure that it is on. When you get used to it you can cut back a little but NEVER cut back all the way. Lee has a decent dial caliper for the money I got one off midway for about $30 probably 6 months ago. When you start resizing cases take your barrel out there with you and try just dropping them in there, a necessity if only neck sizing for rifle, but I like to do it with all just to make sure they will work. Check all your 9mm brass and make sure it has a manufactures name on it, if it only has 4 letters/numbers that are 90 degrees apart it is military brass and a pain in the (thing you sit on) to load. I have tried drilling it out several times and have got them to accept primers but I mess up more primers than I get in them so now I just toss them or if you want a hard target try to hit one of them. Don't start at the max load start in the middle or lower and work your way up watching for pressure signs. I usually jump only 0.1 grains per jump. Powder funnel is about a must if you plan on loading any thing smaller than about .32-.30 cal Don't know if you can get by without it on the progressives I have not used one yet. I use Unique for pretty well all pistol because it fills the cases. have never used Winchester WST so am no help there. And if you come up with any more questions feel free to ask [/QUOTE]
