Generally I approve of BSing. Swapping info, exchanging techniques, this tool vs that that reloading gadget and bragging about one process over another is how we learn. The BS stops when applying the "BS". Sifting thru the information gathered and reloading starts. That how many of us learned to "perfect" their handloading procedure. What works for one may not for another but it sure is fun BSing about it!GasGuzzler wrote:

Good kit to get started with. It was my first one and I still use the press and powder measure. The Lee manual is also a good reference. Follow the kit instructions to the letter and watch the beam on the balance scale stays free and perfectly centred. It has a tendency to swing too close to the dampening magnets and stick. I reload all the pistol calibres you mentioned as well as 45 Colt. What 9mm pistol do you use?JP1960 wrote:Thanks for the friendly greetings, everybody!Ranch Dog wrote:Welcome to the forum!

I plan to start with 9 mm, then if all goes well, expand to 45 ACP and 38 special /357 magnum. I believe Mrs. Santa Claus is going to give me a Lee breechlock reloading kit for Christmas.
Can't tell you about the Shield but what I hear from folks who use them is they love them.JP1960 wrote:I have a Smith and Wesson SD9VE and plan to get either a baby Glock or an M and P Shield for my wife.
The SD9VE was my first modern handgun and it suited my purpose at the time of purchase.larryw wrote:The SD9, Well it's the lowest price self stuffer in SW line.

got SW sued by Glock because of the take down features.
The triggers are terrible to most everyone but can be improved or replaced.
Nothing fancy about them, they eat everything I ever threw at them.
Accuracy is not match grade but workable.
