Well, since I finally finished medic school and all the associated testing, I had time yesterday to build and set up my reloading bench. I got a RCBS kit and everything needed except powder from a nice lady on this forum several months back and just got it running yesterday. Loaded my first 50 rounds of 9mm this morning. 115gr Remington FMJ over 4.2 gr of Bullseye and Remington primers in once fired brass. That's the starting load according to Speer manual. I now have a good source for range brass (all the pistol and 5.56 brass I could ever want) but need to find an inexpensive source for bullets, primers and powder as well as .40, .45 and .223/5.56 dies. A couple of questions, does anybody know of a manual that lists loads for 5.56 NATO as opposed to .223 Remington (higher pressures, yes I know the differences in chamber dimensions) and does anybody know if the tumblers sold by Harbor Freight will work worth a flip for cleaning range brass?
