The difficult to reload thing is really just an internet myth that won't die. First cartridge I ever reloaded. I consider it no different than any other. Most folks who've done it don't either, only exception/difference being that most size in two steps instead of one.

Most arguments are exaggerations/fabrications so someone can list "down sides".

For instance, 9mm over penetrates? First I've heard that. Usually the opposite argument is made when someone argues AGAINST 9mm.

Most studies and tests show that the major, popular calibers are all nearly identical in INeffectiveness. We only use any of them because rifles are inconvenient.
