Yeah reloading is pretty high on my want/need list but it will be quite awhile before I am loading 9Major as I am rather fond of my hands being attached to my body!
Well yeah, that,s why you should load your own. Every gun, barrel combo is different and I'm not sure off the shelf major nine at 175 pf is safe in every gun. Others may chime in here, but I believe you will be safer if you start low and work your way up in 0.1 or 0.2 grain increments using a decent chrono.

Thanks guys! Just what I was looking for.
-
As the title says I recently acquired a new 9mm limited pro and would like to know what do I need to do to run it in uspsa production and idea ssp or esp? What do I need to do to decrease the DA trigger pull but still have it light off WSP primers? Also is there a good web site or book that would help?
I know some one will say do a search but I have read through 30 of the 87 pages in this forum and see a lot about stock II but not so much for the lim. pro.
Thanks.

The only problem with the SPM was an occasional light strike.
-
In my G34 with LW barrel I get on average about 10 fps difference between CCI SP and SPM using 124 gr Blue Bullets.
-
I too wet tumble and will occasionally get the pins stuck two at at time in the flash hole. If these get loaded I suspect that might dampen the primer flash. After tumbling do you run them back through the size and deprime station?
-
Reshoot,
Thanks for the offer, if you lived close by I might take you up on it.
I like to deprime, then clean with SS pins, so hand priming is really no big deal.
I'm not bashing Lee as I cut my reloading teeth with a Lee turret and still have that press. Even with the Dillons I used lee dies.
-
I use to be the owner of two dillon 650s, but had to down size after moving to a condo. I now use a lee pro 1000 which does indeed make good ammo. The secret IMHO is to hand prime off the press. I could never get the priming system on the pree to work to my satisfaction. Once you prime off press, which I do while watching TV it will make ammo as fast as a 650. Don't let anyone tell you different as the 650 take a little fiddling to keep it running smooth too.
-
Thanks for all the input.

Thanks for the replies. Steel match this past weekend. 4 stages and a reload on each. I had 5 smooth reloads- had a mag fall back out on one stage. Dry fire today and bobbled 8 out of ten. Go figure!

The post man delivered Front Sight, Tactical Journal, Blue Press and a Cabelas catalog all on the same day.

I have to change my grip in order to hit the mag release button for one thing. I have practiced steady for the last two weeks probably a couple of thousand times in all, and I have found I'm a bit better when I bring the gun half way into my body and at about mid chest level but still missing 8 or 9 out of ten. I am using dummy rounds and I have beat the edges of the mag well to a pulp. And Stoeger says the par time should be a second. Are you kidding me!? Is there another production gun that may be innately easier to reload. Would a gen4 be better from this standpoint. Should I just slap a mag well on it and shoot limited minor? Any thoughts, someone please help!
Or I could just say screw it and not try to get any better and stay in C class forever.

I put my clean and rinsed brass in a towel and but it in our spare bath tub and it is dry in a couple of days. I use auto wash and wax with the Lemishine and brass stays keeps its shine.
-
You should go to the line with enough rounds on your belt to shoot the cof twice.
-
We all know shinny brass is better.
-
What press do u have? On the 650 these primer punch assembly simply screws in. At time it woks it's way out a little and the primers would be a bit high.
-
Be sure the primer punch is fully screwed in.
-
I will not be happy until I see whatever I want when ever I want at PV
-
It is wet tumbling with stainless steel pins, Dawn and Lemishine in a tumbler . gives you shinny brass. Search this site or you tube and you will get all the info you need.
-
Does not work so well for rifle, but in the past for pistol I used One Shot and Did not worry about removing it. Now I still use One Shot but tumble with stainless pin after size and deprime.
-
I think they made it more enviro-friendly
-
i only use a 1/4 teaspoon of Lemi Shine- the powder and a tablespoon of a car wash and wax combo and run two hrs. Brass looks great and stays shiney.
-
I have to say that I believe part of the problem is us. There are many of us hoarding powder. I can only be so critical as the only reason I'm still shooting is because I bought large amounts of Clays, Universal and Bullseye when I could get it after the first shortage .

You couldn't of wrote it any better. Exactly the same experience.I just received 3,600 of the 9's and inside of the shipping box it was packed 1,200 to a box and within each of the boxes was a well sealed bag. The 3 boxes were also taped to a top & bottom piece of cardboard as well as to each other and a Styrofoam block which was a spacer.
I do agree that the 250 sample packs (received before) leave a lot to be desired in terms of packing.
Same here
