First time go at it

So I was able to find 9mm projectiles and powder but only found limited info. I bought

Berrys .356 / 9mm 124 Grain Round Nose Bullets
Accurate #2 - ACCURATE #2 5#

Does anyone here use this combo or could point me in the right direction, thanks?

Edi: I took Jim's class last week on reloading, But only have the Lyman 49th edition

Thank you, have you used this setup? It's all I could get for now but I have seen mixed reviews online about it being to fast burning.

Have you been to Glenn's in North Reading? He was well stocked with powder last time I was there. AA#2 works fine but I like CFE Pistol.

I don't use Accurate Powders so I am not used to their manuals but a load range of 3.1-4.1 is perhaps the largest I have seen. Hard to believe that going from 3.1 to 3.5 increases FPS from 875 to 948 (+0.4gr = +73 FPS) and going from 4.0 to 4.4 increases FPS from 962 to 1042 (62+0.4gr = +80 FPS) but going from 3.5 to 4.0 only increases from 948 tp 962 (+0.5gr = +14 FPS). Makes no sense. (same powder same bullet)

1. Start point 3.1gr 875 FPS
2. Add +0.4 gr +73 FPS (18.25 FPS per 0.1 gr)
3. Add another +0.5 gr +14 FPS (2.8 FPS per 0.1gr!!!!!)
4, Add Another +0.4 gr +80 FPS (20 FPS per 0.1gr)

I have but only talked about primers and projectiles, which he had neither. So I assume it wasn't worth talking about powder at the time.

Oh big mistake! Go straight to the back of the store where the big wood cabinet is and open it. Its stuffed with powder. Collectors in Stoneham has a decent supply too but not as much.
