Greetings,
A few months have passed since I started thinking about reloading. During that time I watched and read a lot of what's out there about reloading, and I realized that (1) for obvious reasons this is a lousy time to start this hobby, and (2) the amount of info out there is daunting, and the best way to get answers is to ask; the more specific the questions - the better the answers will be.
Eventually, I plan to be reloading 9,45,38,357, and 223/5.56, but for simplicity I want to start with 9mm. I'm building a modified NRMA bench, and a Hornady Lock-N-Load is waiting to be mounted (and I got the Hornady book as well).
So let me start with a few questions (and I apologize in advance - if there's a "ready-made" set of answers for these which I failed to find - please point me in that direction and I'll be quiet...)
On last thing (for now...) - is it just me or nobody has anything that's got to do with 9mm? If it's not considered as "best kept secret" - is there some go-to vendors list with primers, bullets, casings?
Many thanks in advance!

- Powder - which should I get? (I saw something about searching for "ole standby", but it didn't quite help). Will it be same for all pistol calibers?
- Another thing one about powder - in the reviews I watched of the Hornady powder measure, I recall lenticular vs, spherical powder and the fact that one is preferred over the other; any LNL AP users that can comment of this?
- Dies - Looking for a recommended set of carbide dies that I don't have to wait for 2022 until it's available? Lee, for example, have a 3-die set and 4-die set - which do I need?
On last thing (for now...) - is it just me or nobody has anything that's got to do with 9mm? If it's not considered as "best kept secret" - is there some go-to vendors list with primers, bullets, casings?
