As of now given what I'll be shooting, it will be Titegroup for .40/9mm (and maybe .357/.38) and Varget for .223/.308. Seems to mixed feelings on Titegroup for .357/.38. I'll further research that one. I'll start with minimium loads of course and work my way up. 3chux

Wohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh guys (or ladies), didn't mean to cause a food fight here. It's been quite educational and this is the best way to learn. I have yet to press my first cartridge. The Speer #13 manual has been a great learning tool as you all have thus far. I truly apprecite the wisdom from all of your collective experience... keep it coming. I'll put a post up when I start yankin' the handle (no smart comments please) 3chux

Thanks, I'll call H&K and see what they say. You are correct, it was "fully supported chamber."

Talked with Hodgdon today... they have a warning about using TG in .40. I won't get this right but words to the effect of "if your bullet is not fully suspended in the chamber we don't advise using it." I shoot an H&K .40 USP compact for targets and my carry weapon. Anyone see any issues with using TG? Seems that a lot of folks use this powder with no problems.
Thanks, 3chux

My first post to the forum... getting ready to order a Dillon 550 to begin my reloading journey. Learned a lot from the forum and talking directly with Brian. Bought a good reloading manual and the video and with the help of some experienced friends will begin reloading. At this point I know worse than nothing, I know a little bit. Here's what I do: Plunk paper/metal targets with .223/.40 primarily. Will also be shooting 9mm, .357/.38 and eventually .308. Lots of calibers so the 550 seems like the logical choice. I'll go through 1500-2000 rounds/month. Ranges are from 12-25 yds indoors to out to 600 yds outdoors. Accuracy is important but I'm not a competative shooter. (yet) I'm going NUTS trying to figure out which powder to use. They confuse the heck out of me. Many brands to chose from and I don't have a clue. Sure could use some help here.
Thanks, 3chux

Looks like Titegroup for pistol for sure and then Varget to begin for .223/.308 but may graduate to IMR 4198 for .223 and IMR 4895 for .308. 3chux.
