I am deciding to get into loading my own ammo. I bought Lyman Reloading handbook and after I read this and read many of these threads I plan on deciding what kit I will start with.
The weapons I own are a savage 308, AR15 .223, S&W .357/.38 and a compact carry Taurus 9mm. The question I have is in regards to the 9mm. Basic target ammo is pretty cheap for the 9mm. someone at the store I was at felt it generally isn't worth re-loading 9mm because of what it costs to buy. The question I have is, using brass from the cheap 115gr ammo when you re-load can you use the brass to make a more effective defensive round or do you have to stick with the bullet it was designed for?
