    Default first rounds finished

    Took me forever as I used the Dillon 550b as a single press...kinda
    however I just finished reloading my first 50 9mm rounds to test out

    Went with some Wolf 125GR plated round nose, Windchester 231, and the starting measure or 3.9 with a OAL of 1.125.

    I'll let you know how the workout in the CZ Shadow, If all goes well guess Ill make a few hundred then move up a little with the powder measure or Try loading up some Hornady XTP 147 GR HP.

    Cheers
    Brian

    there you go.
    once you figure out "the load" then set that 550 up and make use of it.
    good luck.
    one of the best way's to save money reloading is to buy things in bulk and shop around for good buys.
    doing some homework will help differentiate between cheap and a bargain.

    Thanks runfiverun.

    Well, out of the 50 I made all went great except 2 which I did not crimp enough.

    I did find that I am more accurate with the factory windchester 115 gr though
