How to Reload 9mm for Beginners 

Yeah, powder and especially primers are hard to find, but more stuff is showing up on shelves lately! Keep looking, I bought a 1000 primers at the local Sportsman's Warehouse a few days ago for $42.00. Thanks for watching!

Glad you found it useful and thanks for watching!

I actually have a bottle of Lemi-Shine but I have not broken down and bought a wet media rated tumbler. Maybe in the near future! Thanks for watching!

Picked up an ultrasonic cleaner for cheap (since it was on sale at the local place were I shop with no one buying reloading stuff since we can't get primers.) Have to say it works great, although you do want to de-prime/cap the things before throwing them into it to get the cleaning solution to last a little longer.

Thanks for the kind words. Yeah, I don't like the videos that have music either. Thanks for watching and Happy New year!

Thanks! Glad you found the video useful!

Thanks, glad it was helpful. I have a video How to Reload 38 Special for Beginners where I use a Lee single stage press. That might be helpful also. Appreciate you watching!

Thanks, glad you found it useful!

Yeah, reloading on a single stage for pistol calibers is slow. At least one can keep shooting! Hey, thanks for watching!

Yes, they are hard to find, but things are showing up lately so don't give up! And thanks for watching!

Great instructional video. Thanks for posting this for the new reloaders out there. We have been running small rifle primers in our 9mm rounds. Works just fine, you gain about 10-20fps so if you are loading in the mid range you have nothing to worry about. We use HS-6 or CFE pistol with 115 gn FMJ or coated Bullets. I shoot with a group and we pickup and tumble about 300-500 cases per week in our dry vibratory tumblers. We Get fine walnut shells (used for sand blasting) from harbor freight 25 lbs at a time. I load 9mm on an old Dillon 650. That thing is almost an ammo factory, easy to make 300-400 rounds an hour.

Great setup you have, and thanks for watching!

I got lucky and found some at Knob Creek last October

I use both of those powders as well, but Unique is still a good powder.

Thanks for watching and the question! With the Lee Perfect Powder Measure there is not any type of adapter to use the Powder Through Die, none that I know of anyhow.. The Powder through die works with the Automatic Powder Measures. Also, I want to show each step in more detail for people new to reloading.

Done! Hey, thanks for reminding me to adjust that! And thanks for the tip and watching!

Bullseye is a great powder! I actually chose to use Unique for this video for safety, it is hard to double charge the case. I forgot to mention it in the video. Hey, thanks for watching and the comments!

I have not had any issues, make sure you use the correct priming arm. There are two that come with the turret press, large primer and small primer. I hope this helps. Thanks for watching!

Great catch and question! I did sort of gloss over actual bullet diameter used. The actual bullet diameter for a Jacketed 9mm bullet is .355". For a soft lead, or copper plated lead bullet, which is different, it is .356", .001 larger. The Hornady manual does not mention this, but the Speer manual does. You can also see the difference in the .38 Special section, which has both Jacketed and lead bullets and their actual diameters. Any other questions, let me know! Thanks for the question and watching!

All pistol rounds need to be crimped. Revolvers use a roll crimp into the crimp groove of the bullet, to keep the bullet from moving under recoil in the non-shooting chambers. Automatics almost always headspace on the mouth, so instead of a roll crimp, a taper crimp is used. This keeps the bullet from being forced deeper when stripped from the magazine, going into the chamber. In the video, I am using Lee dies that comes with a factory taper crimp die. One doesn't want to use a roll crimp on an automatic pistol ammo as that will cause problems trying to headspace. Hay, thanks for the question and watching!

I might have to start using the liquid tumbling method! Thanks for watching!

Hornady or Lyman reloading manuals have load data for Unique. Also the Alliant powder website has online data. I hope this helps.

It is. I like to tumble brass first if it is dirty, makes it easier to resize. Hey thanks for the question and watching!
