Thanks Krautguns, even MORE reason for me to reload (besides the fun).

I'd be reloading for a HK P7M8 (among other 9mm pistols), and shoot mostly indoors, so lead is out. Even so, sounds like I can do this cheaper than purchased ammo (especially since I already have all the expensive gear for reloading, just need primers/powder and $30 or so in dies and case check gauges).

I used to use 231 years ago, for .45, but found it way too dirty. I would come home with my arms covered in specs from it. Ugh.

Any comments on the Vihtavuori powders for 9mm, like N320 or N340? Is it clean? Meter well? I see they have loads listed at http://www.vihtavuori.fi/vihtavuori/pistol/9mmluger.htm

Thanks,
