Wager

I really appreciate all of the help everyone. I talked to a couple of guys at my club who have been loading that I will con into helping me with the setup so that I can at least get it setup correctly. I’m sure once I get into the rabbit hole that I’ll be back with more questions. Till then I’ll keep reading the manuals suggested above as well as the threads here on the site.

yeah the 750 will be a big learning curve but i want to be able to work my way up to a more automated setup. I know me and I’m lazy. I won’t load if it’s a tedious chore. I’m loading for a 9mm Masterpiece Arms DS9 which is a 2011 for USPSA and IDPA competitions. For the non ported barrel I will be using that for limited optics for USPSA and the ported barrel will be used for open division and IDPA.

Ok, I’m sure you guys get this about 3 or 4 times a week but couldn’t find the threads when looking through the forum so I’ll ask them again. Just got an XL750 to start loading and have some questions I’m hoping some of you would be willing to help with. A little background, I will be loading 9mm for a Masterpiece Arms DS9 with a ported barrel and without a ported barrel (I swap them out to shoot different divisions). My experience with reloading - zero or less if that’s possible. Questions: 1. What brand bullets do you guys recommend? I’ll be getting all weights just to test with but have no idea what is a good brand to start with. 2. What brand of powder? I’m sure there are a ton of options here and they are all probably application specific but for someone just starting, what would be a good one to start with? 3. Im sure there will be differences between the powders that I should use for the ported and non ported barrels, any insight or tips? 4. Where do you guys order this stuff from or do you get it locally? thanks for any help you can provide.
