It begins with one

I’ve had a couple of squibs. That’s when I stopped using my Lee 1000 progressive press as a one pull load. Now I split the 9mm in to two different stages. I size, deprime, and prime on my Redding T7. Then load the cases in to the Lee 1000 to fill and seat bullet. Too many things to watch on the Lee when it does it all. Too easy to miss something. Worst part is the powder station and prime station are the same and in back where you can’t see them. It then moves to the bullet station and it’s all blind unless you look around the side. Now I just sit to the exit side and I can see fine because I don’t need to worry about the crappy primer station. It’s total junk.

I always choose a powder that has enough volume so a over charge will over flow the case and a normal one is visible and leaves just enough room to seat the bullet without compressing the powder.

Same here, I like the case to be full making double charge impossible. For 9mm I use accurate #5
