  • Pistol Caliber Reloading

    Recently started to reload 9mm with a Dillon Square Deal press. Anyone else reloading pistol caliber?

    9mm, 40sw, 45acp, 45LC, 357mag, 38spc, and I recently picked up a G20 (10mm) that I will of course have to start reloading.

          I picked up 357/38 dies for my press. I am thinking about getting a LCR357 for everyday carry.

            What make/ model of press do you use?

                We'll have to go the range. I picked up the LCR .38+P. IMO the .357 in such a short barrel is too much (for me at least).

                    I have been using Hogdon Longshot powder for my 9mm. Recommended load for 115g fmj is 5~6 grains.
                    As a new reloader I have been loading 5.5grains. Will I see much of a difference if I drop grain load slightly?

                      It's not fancy, but it's mine and it works.

                        I reload 9mm and .45. I've seen a .22 reloading kit too, not sure how that would work. I might ask for one from Santa.

                          I'm picking up a NIB Square Deal with extras this weekend from a guy who decided not to bother with reloading. It's set up for .45 ACP and .38/357.

                            Good luck, do you have someone helping you with setup? Where are you located?

                              I need to get a decent work bench before I actually set it up. I'm taking off Thanksgiving week, so I'll get some time to actually set it up properly. I've been doing a lot of research in preparation for it.
