    I'm tired of paying $.22+ cents a round for practice 9mm ammo and have decided to buy the equipment needed to reload my own brass.

    I will be a total ''NooB'' at this so I'm counting on my INGO brothers and sisters too lead me down the right path...

    First of all, I want to only do 9mm and have been saving my brass for the past 6 months. I've been told the equipment that is needed will be a "Dillon" ASB Press (sp), and I'll need a tumbler and a decent scale.

    If your a re-loader, please reply with your best advice for me.

    Thanks in advance!

    I haven't started to reload yet but have been reading and looking at equipment so with that in mind. I don't think if the cost is your main reason for reloading that you need to buy the most expencive equip. at first there is good products from lee. if you want to load just 9mm there is the lee pro1000 it can be had for $160. there is a forum jst for lee loadmaster and pro1000 owners for support. Now I am a cheap butt so thats why I am focsused on lee equip.

    I don't mean to say that anyone should or shouldn't get a Dillon just that if a person is looking at cost as the main factor then a Dillon might be unrealistic when you factor in changing calibers and working up loads.

    Dillon Square B
    Dillion Tumbler
    Digital scale
    extra primer tubes
    primer flip tray

    I have a 550 and a Square B. The Square is easy to load on, faster also.
    It is easy to set up too

    Go See Bob Trueblood in Seymour at Bite the Bullet, he can set up and you won't have to pay shipping.
