9mm

[dakotadogman]

Been doing .38 / 7x57 for a while...

is there any secret / special wisdom for reloading 9mm?
Just got the dies / brand new brass / etc. so I can load up a few for a budy.

God Bless,

Not really. Just use fast powder per the manual and you'll be fine. Some autos are a little particular with light loads, but other than that 9mm is easy to roll.

9mm and other autos locate on the mouth of the cartridge rather than the rim like a revolver or some rifle rounds. Don't over crimp in the bullet seating operation.

I like to use a factory crimp die in a separate operation so that there is no bell left on the case mouth but crimps maybe one or two thousands. This will allow it to still locate on the case mouth in the chamber and feed better.

Thanks guys. Budy with the 9 came out a week or so ago. Loads shot just fine.
