If you're confident enough to start loading with a 750 and a MBF, then my opinion is to go to a 1050 or 1100 with the DAA dropper & expander instead.
I usually recommend a SDB (that's what I reload with), but if you're in a hurry, and don't mind spending the $$$$,
I'd suggest you start with a 1050/1100.
Save a lot of time, and it takes the crimp out at the same time.
From the little you've written here, I'd suggest you spend a half hour
reading past posts re: reloading 9mm ...

I'd give them a thorough try, well before the A3.
But, I can't imagine you'll be unable to find WWSP's.
My TruBor seem to set off anything, including Russian primers, but my BHP sets them off about 50% of the time.

True dat.

Elmer Keith used 2400 powder, and he did very well with it.
BUT, I'd start out with mid-level loads.
Hot loads will kick

A set of Tanfo aluminum grips far exceed my expectations
The problem is, now I want them on all of my Tanfos :-)
If anyone is on the fence about upgrading to Tanfo aluminum grips I think they're a good investment.
I don't know much about Tanfos (I use STI's) but just got pair of STEEL grips
and they are INCREDIBLE.
Before you switch over all your guns to aluminum, you owe it to yourself to
at least try STEEL first.

1. squad with Ms and GMs to learn a few things..
2. but generally crash and burn...
Those are entirely different objectives :
1. You will learn a few things
BUT
2. You probably won't be able to execute what you've learned that day
You will go home with new ideas, and practice a little differently, and eventually
come out a better shooter some other day.

funny thing is seller shipped me everything in the pic including 4K Federal primers via USPS. I didn’t think it was all included and clearly they didn’t know or care you can’t do that!

I like this guy.
See, you can be humorous here ...
Sometimes you have to explain that you're joking, of course

Try it yourself.
If you're comfortable shooting with both eyes open,
distance shouldn't matter.

Please pray for me as I try to enjoy this forum without my sense of humor, and complete lack of filter
Wow. That's an incredibly difficult objective.
Good luck with it

When you find your instructor, if he doesn't go over your grip with
you, personally, on your first lesson - dump him
If you ain't holding the gun properly, you won't learn enough.

So, I should skip the 550 completely?
How many rounds are you reloading ?

Sorry, I had to give up reading in the 2nd paragraph, or so.
There are paragraphs, aren't there ?
Good luck with your problem

I am THINKING about reloading. I shoot 9mm Minor in competition, maybe 600 rounds per month.
Might add .40 limited or 9mm Major.
$100/month for factory 9mm ammo ….
Or spend $ 1,000 for reloading equipment PLUS $50/month for components.
The 550 sounds like the way to go, but an alternative is NOT to GO at all.
You won't save much by reloading 9mm Minor, in the current environment.
Reloading becomes more important with .40 or 9mm Major, but for now,
you could save yourself a hassle
UNLESS
it gets more difficult to purchase ammo next year.
No suggestion here, merely an alternative viewpoint.

Shoot major.
Shoot a metal gun.
Go crazy at local matches with just 2 anywhere in the brown, a few times.
Shoot on the move way more than you ever did before.
Never ever make up a C hit.
rowdy hit it on the head.
Only thing I can add is shoot a metal gun WITH STEEL GRIPS
Reloading .40 Major can be little trickier since most use fast powders
and heavy bullets. You have to make sure you have no bullet setback
with that combo.
A totally different approach, is ease on into Limited by shooting
Limited Minor - up to you. Depends on your objectives.

a 2" ejector rod might be a problem

Making your own max oal gauge is simple and makes checking your bullets in your gun fast & easy.
Might need a different OAL Gauge for each bullet type you use.

I started out, 30 years ago, using my BHP.
Now, it's an Open gun.

Never thought about it before, but I wonder if there's a benefit
to the large blast, directed at the bad guy.
Yeah, you'll get some of it too, but you know he's in for a
VERY LARGE BLAST in the face. Also alert your neighbors
that something is going on next door (call police?).
Just a random thought.
