welcome, and my only advice in reloading for beginners is to follow the reloading manual to the letter, check and recheck your procedures and when it comes to time to fire your first round you have loaded, have a buddy pull the trigger for you.

Thanks. I've got the Lyman 49th manual but it only lists couple loadsfor each caliber. I'm looking up info but seems all over place. What load data source you find best?
Currently doing 9 mm in 115 and 124 gr wanting use 231 or titegroup any load tips?

Welcome. You need more than one resource book as they all will be a little different. No one book is always correct. I use Hornady and Sierra most of time. The powder manufactures have load data on their web pages and I think that they are free. You can never have to much information. Most of my equipment is RCBS.
