Hi all,

Well got the press just about up and running. Ran a couple of dummy rounds to check the sizer, expander, and seater and compared to a factory round - pretty much dead on (+/- .001")

So am looking for a decent "recipe" for loading with Bullseye and 115gr Hornady FMJ. Any good ones? I would like to stay below max load for now (manual I have has 4.6-4.7 as max for Bullseye). They will primarily be used for target loads out of a Beretta 92FS

As a second question - FMJ is a bit on the pricey side. How well does cast lead perform in 9mm? Any differences in loading? Don't really want to get 500 of them just to find out that my gun hates them
