Research on Reloading 9mm

OK, Here's the deal:
First, We convince Tom to send his Dillon back to the factory; so he gets a brannew 550 reloader machine in exchange. All new and shiny. Works like a charm. Doesn't miss a beat. Never a missing primer.
Then we cozy up to him. Let him shoot our old beater guns, whatever. Make him feel He Owes Us. [Maybe somehow even get Julie to be on our side. Have our women go to lunch with her. Talk about kids, fixing husbands, shopping, whatever.]
Next, we haul our reloading stuff--brass, primers, bullets, powder, etc.--over to Tom's Man Cave, play helpless, get him to set up the Spanky New Dillon 550 for 9mm. Say Wow!
Moving in for the Kill, we bet/dare him that he can't make more than 500/rounds per hour on that new Dillon Machine that ain't broke in yet.
We can do this on Sunday evening, listening to Mark Walters on Armed American while Tom pulls the crank.
When he isn't using the machine, we can rent it out to NFOA folks.
You call him.

[PS - Maybe we can use the Dillon to reload your Mystery 32s. Make a brannew Wildcat round: the RamRingerZinger.]

Semperfi,
Sounds like a good idea

This is scaring me. :o
(Besides, my Super 1050 is already set up for 9mm. Wouldn't need to set up the 550 for that!)
Mudnrox:
jthhapkido how much powder do you use for your setup?
unfy:
Powder's gonna be based first upon published reloading manual guidelines, and then tailored to the particular bullet and pistol. I know my Sig likes some things, dislikes others... varying powder charge by a few tenths of a grain within the margins of the book can make all the difference when loading different bullets.
I picked up an 8lb jug of powder a while back, prolly made 3000 rounds with it already... and there's still a lot left.
Don't take this as for 9mm, but if ya put 5.0 grains of powder in each round - you can make 11200 rounds out of 8 pounds of powder if everything is perfect. It won't be quite perfect, but I don't see why you couldn't get 11K rounds out of an 8lb jug at 5.0gr per round.
