I WAS BEFOR I SOLD IT,,,,,,,,i had to  size the loaded round to get it to feed  properly.......kind of pain in but i used red dot and it shot ok.i had trouble finding and keeping brass.....jb

I load for mine.  Just like jbtaz I have to size my finished rounds to get them to chamber properly.  I ended up buying a second FL sizing die and taking the decapper out.  I just lube the necks of the finished rounds and run them back into the sizing die.  Kinda crimps them and reduces the outside neck diameter enough for the round to chamber.  Now that Lee has a Factory Crimp die out for this round I might go ahead and get that since it's a bit more proper a solution, and from my understaning I could skip the lube on the crimping step with the factory crimp dies.

Generally I've been using Rainier 110gr copper plated bullets with Accurate No 9 powder (though I did shoot a good bit of rounds with 90gr Hornady XTP's and Hogdgon Titegroup).  Accuracy is pretty good for me.  The brass isn't TOO hard to locate.  Being a bottleneck case helps out a lot.  I've also got a Star Modelo Super in 9mm Largo that is a pain to shoot because it's hard to spot a 9mm Largo case on the ground with eleventy billion 9mm Luger cases on the ground too .

Using Lee dies, had to really tinker with the expander die. (Finally read the directions that tells us to back it up a little). Lee dies working great now. Am loading Hornady 90gr XTP hollow points and Sierra 85gr round nose. Using Unique (6.6gr), Starline brass. Load and gun function flawlessly, accuracy is very good, should improve with practice. Have added the Harrington #2 firing pin kit and the hardened rollers. Firing pin really does reduce trigger pull a bunch!
