Hi all, I am a newbie to this forum. I have owned and shot mostly handguns since the early 70s, and after a hiatus of a decade or so have begun shooting again. When the price of a box of TulAmmo 9mm hit nearly $50.00 a box and that's all I could get, I began to reload 9mm, .40 S&W and .380. As a newbie, I find myself frequently in search of loading data. The Lyman manual is often sparse and seems to give very low minimum loads. The Hodgdon site seems quite good, but often has holes in the data in terms of bullet types (more extensive than Lyman 49th though). I have run across this site on several occasions, so I thought I might join it. I'm not a competition shooter (retired competitive fencer instead), but I really enjoy shooting and my wife does as well.
