New To Reloading - Help!

[Bogatyrs]

I have just got my Dillon Square Deal and am setting up to load 9mm Luger and 40 S&W both for IPSC. 9mm will be Standard and the 40 will be for production.

I really could use some recommendations on a good starting point. If possible I would like to use the same powder for both????

Powder, bullet and grains

I really appreciate your help.

Get a good reloading manual to read, like Lyman 49th Reloading Manual.
I like Power Pistol and Unique for both the 9 and 40

Got the Lyman 49

Thanks and yes I have the manual and was trying to get the best place to start from the list of options...

I use Titegroup for both my 9mm and 40S&W. My 9 (Shadow) is production and the 40 (Ranger 2) is for single stack league nights.

4grs under a 124gr bullet makes ~135 PF for production.
Same load under a 180gr 40 cal gives me ~155 PF, if I recall.
