For now its just to get my feet wet reloading 9mm and hoping to save a bit in the process, as I want to eventually get into the open game. I'm not sure how much I would really need for training and local meets, but I want to make just enough rounds as I go to events and stuff. Right now I'm finding basic range 9mm for about .45 cents per round locally.

I started with 9mm and an expectation to shoot only pistol and a fair amount of it, so I went for a Dillon SDB from the git go. For any semi auto, especially with 9mm or smaller cases, get some sort of progressive or turret press. It is easy to fumble those cases moving on/off a single state and you don't want powder spills. (This may just be a consideration for those of us with big hands/fingers. ) Be advise it's frequently said, you won't save any money handloading but you will shoot more.
