What should my target velocity be...got a chrono coming

Just found some and ordered Sport Pistol...so any load recommendations?

Thanks for powder heads up, CFE was the only powder available right now, will be looking for Sport Pistol, maybe save the 147 for that.

No arguing, I appreciate all the help and advice I can get. I went thru a random handful of my range brass and only found one NATO round so far and it was marked with a sharpie, so probably already swaged. Did not see any other crimped primers in over 100 randoms. Doesn't mean they dont exist, but to get started I'm leaning towards xl750. If we run into too many crimped primer issues we can always sell and upgrade to 1050. Just have heard bad stories about priming station on 1050.

So this thread went sideways, helpful, but not really focused on my initial question of load recipes

Definitely crimped

Uncrimped? Looks like.

Could you.post a pic of a crimped primer on 9mm, I sorted thru about 60 randoms and cant identify any that looked crimped. I have googled pics.

You live near a military base, cause I have inspected mine and haven't seen any yet. Most other folks would agree with me, from my research.

What do I want to sort out? I cant imagine crimped 9mm brass will be more than 10 percent of the range brass???

Also looking at 1050 too, read that typically 9mm brass doesn't need swaged

I'm thinking the same, that will be my target start point

Going with 750, we shoot maybe 9 matches a year right now.

Thanks, order one book, will order more Got any chrono recommendations?

Powder shortage, couldn't find sport pistol or titegroup right now, found CFE

New to reloading so be patient my friend and I are going to start the journey into reloading, both using 9mm minor. We are not competing in major events so chrono is not critical. Looking for softer recoil and accuracy. both shooting Atlas titans 1. Any recommendations on best reloading book? recommendations for powder charge on the following.... 2. Using Berrys 147 gr. TMJ RN 3. CCI No. 500 primers 4. CFE powder I know OAL of 1.165 will have some feed issues, bought some fenix ammo 147gr, and I think when the slide moves over the round in the mag the little push it gets caused a few issues. Running MBX mags, not a mag problem. Have no issues running Fed. Syntech red tip or purple tip.
