Message: <blockquote data-quote="JoeUSooner" data-source="post: 3797822" data-attributes="member: 55109">My three granddaughters and I load well-over a thousand rounds of 9mm per month, using a 'Lee 1000' turret press.We clean/polish brass with a dry tumbler, and visually inspect every case (tossing the bad ones, of course). My grands use the automated priming tool, but I prefer to hand-prime brass... which allows me a bit more control over depth of seating. Just a personal quirk, there.As exclusively as possible, we use Hodgdon's TightGroup powder. Although it leaves a dark residue, we find it to meter exceptionally well in this Lee press and it burns very consistently, producing reliable and accurate ammo for us. We seat the (115grain only) bullets to the recommended OAL on the Hodgdon website, and the crimp is minimal... and we have five individual quality-control steps (visual and metric) in the overall process. We have reloaded more than 80,000 rounds since late 2016, and we have even used our reloads in competitive matches with no problems.</blockquote>
