Hey guys ! first post-new reloader here. I have a Lee Load-Master 9mm kit from midway and purchased the 2 recommended additional die(s) universal decapper die, and factory carbide crimp die. I spent a few days going over my setup consulting youtube videos and believe the press is functioning well. I have consulted the only 2 load books I have purchased and studied (lee modern 2'nd and nosler 9). I guess my issue is I have learned that to have proper bullet fitment and to pass the splunk test in my G43x barrel I must OAL size the berry's superior plated 147gr FP (flat point) bullets all the way down to 1.040" ~ OAL . I have a 4lb container of Alliant "power pistol" powder and have Remington small pistol primers. If anybody has any ideas, or reference materials that could point me in the right direction for a starting charge with these components .. or even some guesses. I would greatly appreciate it. -Matt
