+1 on the reloading thing. I was reading quite a bit about it a couple of months ago after I purchased a 357. $30 for fifty rounds of ammo was just not appealing to me. So I pulled the trigger on a Lee turret and a set of dies recently (very recently). I load the same round for about $7 per fifty. 9mm will cost me the same. I just ordered the dies and already have a 1000 bullets waiting to be loaded. I have been saving the 9mm brass since last October, figuring I would someday try reloading, so I have a good pile of it. I will only save a few bucks per fifty with 9mm, but it is irrelevant. It is just fun. And theoretically, I should not be subject to shortages in the future as long as I keep powders on hand.
Now that I am getting the hang of it, I need to figure out which loads will be most accurate. I am excited to start with the 9mm as well because I want to see how much I can soften my loads for target/steel and still have accuracy and cycle the gun. I also just picked up a different powder that should work well for medium 357 loads. I have not loaded for 357 yet, just 38 special. Pete
