Yes, A turret press is best for 9mm, you'll want to pump them out in quanity.XRpredator said:has anyone spent the time to reload 9mm?
Yes, I have loaded aluminum, nickle and brass.can you reload aluminum cases, or is it brass only?
No, pistol powder is much faster burning than rifle, but you can use shotshell powder for pistol cartridges, (same speed powders)can I use the same powder for pistol and rifle cartridges
Yes, I believe my press is a Lee Turret, and I can do several boxes in a couple hours, (about 20 boxes)is it worth it to do shotshells?
:yikes: Can I do that for .357 rounds? What's the initial investment for tools/ supplies? Hell, I might be able to afford to shoot mine again. :laugh:Shaw520 said:and I can do several boxes in a couple hours, (about 20 boxes)
Yes, they are standard thread and will fit any press, just buy the dies as you go along.XRpredator said:Now, can I mix and match dies from other manufacturers, ?

Greenie... Reloading .357 Mag should cost you between $10 and $13 per hundred. The nice thing about that is that you never lose your brass when shooting a revolver. I have been told that people who shoot taller brass (like .38 and .357) often trim their cases because they "stretch". I don't have any case trimming equipment, as it isn't needed for 9, .40, and .45.
XRpredator said:Thanks Gomer!
More researchin' for me to do.
(I'd love to find someone who's dumping their old stuff for cheap -- gotta watch the estate sales)
Cool thanks! As you and someone else stated the pressure is more-so against the chamber/ cylinder than on the casing itself. Makes sense...High Lord Gomer said:Greenie: I have reloaded many of my 9mm cases 10 times. The guy I buy my reloading stuff from told me that he has some .38 Super cases that he has used 30+ times. With a fully supported chamber in a .357, you should be fine for many reloads. The common reload failures that I've heard about have been in Glock .40s with less-than-fully supported chambers.
