Ok so as I mentioned in my intro post used to load, got out, nearly 30 years absent, getting back into it.
so yeah, I have a lot of questions.
1. Where do you all get your load data? back in the day, I used to primarily use my Speer reloading manual, Number 10. Looking online I found I think it was number 14, but was printed back in 2006. SO my other question here is, what books give the most/best info these days? I know some who reload and don't even go by a book at all, getting data somewhere else. AND, some of the numbers quoted to me were way off from what the book I have says. As in, their loads where a lot lighter, nearly half of what I am seeing in the book I have(same powder)
2. What's your preferred method of lubing cases? I see all types, and procedures.
3. For 9mm, what's the easiest to find powder? and Where do you get it? From what I have seen so far, the powders are cheaper online, until they add in the hazmat charges. I live in Morganton, and so far from what I have found, there isn't any place here that sells reloading supplies. I think the closest place to me is down Hwy 10, not far from where you turn off Hwy 18.
4. So dang many types of bullets, pro's? con's? what grain. I won't be doing competitions at all, looks fun, but just not able. ALl I am looking for is something accurate, and dependable, something that won't damage my pistol. Plinking, and self protection is pretty much my goals.
