Never trust anyone else's reloads unless you really trust that person and know they are not a idiot.
I tend to load on the conservative side lighter loads.
always do your own research on load data and double check when using other peoples data.

Todays load data for 9mm was
115 grain plated round nose bullets
4.6 grains of Red DOT, its a little hot for my taste but will cycle better in my 9mm.
CCI small pistol primers

My arm is sore now I loaded over 300 rounds on a turret press that was 1200+ pulls on the handle
I hope to be loading 45 acp tomorrow depending on the case prep how long it takes.
I thought getting taught was the best way. Like most anything else, there is a lot to know and from the reading I've done already there are plenty of wrong ways to do things and this is way too dangerous to not get someone experienced to show me.

I'm sure eventually I'll invest in my own reloading equipment but for this year, it'd be nice to just use someone else's and load all my empty brass.

If I lived anywhere near you, I'd happily give you a hand....and when were done, we could kick back and have a good cigar!
