No sir, you don't have to trim pistol brass. Thank you sir! "Protected by Shield"

Finally! Got everything together and started today. Cleaned some brass and started resizing and depriming cases. Big thanks again to everyone for the help!! "Protected by Shield"

Thanks guys! I figured it was a no. Just wanted to be sure. "Protected by Shield"

Newbie question. Do you trim 9mm cases? I've read yes and no, so thought I'd ask here where I can trust the responses. And if answer is yes.. What are some good ones y'all recommend? Thanks. "Protected by Shield"

First. Thanks again for all the advice. There's so much I'm learning from experienced hand loaders like you. Answer to your first question. I ordered a pound of Alliant Power Pistol. I found a little way around the hazmat fee(shhh[emoji16]). If you order on bass pro's website and do "site to store" there's no shipping or hazmat. I have one near my job, so not out of the way. Also think that'll be good in future as I want to try other brands before ordering bulk online. For primers I bought CCI 500 small pistol. For bullets my dad sent me 500 115g bullets from Infinity Ammunition as a "welcome to hand loading " gift. My tumbler should arrive tomorrow. I'm just not sure which media to go with... walnut or corn cob? "Protected by Shield"

Thanks firewood! I'm excited to get going! Thanks for the great advice... I can see where this hobby can get out of hand financially real quick. I've almost acquired everything I need to get started. Just waiting on my powder to arrive and going to order my tumbler and media this weekend. I spent this past weekend dialing in my bench and setting up my dies on the press. Almost there [emoji3][emoji1303] "Protected by Shield"

I just put the Lee turret on my bench a couple days ago. And I can see it'll be habit forming... I already have my eyes on a Hornady lnl[emoji16] "Protected by Shield"

The way your using the lee was why I was thinking it would be a good choice. I could use it to learn the loading process while I save up for a Dillon or Hornaday progressive. Then still have it for rifle and work up loads. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Awesome deal! Thanks for the link. "Protected by Shield"

Nebwake. What about the Redding T-7? Can be used as a single stage, but have to capability to do a little higher volume as well. I've also looked at the Lee classic turret. I'm holding out for a Dillon or Hornady progressive when I'm ready for that jump. "Protected by Shield" Makes sense. I like that Redding single stage, as well as the Hornady one. I'll need all the accessories also scales, calipers, etc. . So single stage may be way to go. "Protected by Shield"

Sorry, I want to reload 500 range of 9mm and 100 or so of .32. I don't shoot the .32 very often. As far as time a week... I'd have 2-3 hours to devote sometimes more. "Protected by Shield"
