[QUOTE="thor447, post: 3388145, member: 24867"] Wow, fantastic info everyone, thank you. I think I've got my initial setup figured out. Luckily, I'm not coming into this totally green, as I've been reloading rifle cartridges for several months now. I understand the basics of pistol reloading, but having not physically done it yet, the task is still somewhat daunting. I greatly appreciate all of the info explaining the different type bullets and dies. I've got my order placed with Midway for the dies and a few other accessories (powder drop, powder riser, etc.). I will be going with a 4 die setup - full length size/decap, powder through/expander, seating die, and taper crimp. After reading your suggestions, and seeing some really good info online, I'm pretty excited to get started. I've also got some primers on the way, along with a pound of CFE and Smart Pistol to try out. I'm on the hunt for some bullets now. Precision Bullets emailed me back this morning and said they are 4-6 weeks out on orders right now, and are doing a production run this week of their 125gr RN 9mm. I'm also looking at Xtreme's 124gr and 147gr options. They show to have a ton of items in stock, but I've been reading about LONG shipping wait times even for in stock items. I spent $5 yesterday on their reloading manual, which they said would be immediately sent via email after purchase. I purchased it, and the only email I got was my order confirmation, but no attachment, nor was there a link to download the manual. I'm at 24 hours now and still haven't received the reloading data that I've been charged for. I sent an email to their customer service dept. and hope to hear back soon. Thus far, I'm not impressed. I also like what I see with Berry's, but they're just out of everything right now! We'll see what happens, but I'd like to say thanks to everyone who gave advise on here. The same thing happened when I began reloading rifle cartridges. OSA was extremely helpful. [/QUOTE]
