First of all welcome to the forum and welcome to reloading. The Lee classic turret is a great press to learn on. I started on the same press six years ago and still use it. I agree with others, any brand small primer, Winchester 231, Bullseye, Titegroup and HS-6 should all be easy to find load data for. I prefer 124 grain bullets in 9mm. One little safety tip is to look in every case after the powder charge before you set the bullet on to be seated. You aren't look for a .2 grain difference, just looking to make sure the measure dropped powder to avoid a squib.
