Hi everyone. I am new to reloading and after reading the books and setting up my new Lee Classic Turret Press I went in search of all the components I needed to start loading 9mm, 380 and 223.
Obviously, powder was the hardest to come by and couldn't find pistol powder anywhere. I went to a local gun show and found a gentleman selling Maxam CSB-1 and CSB-5. After talking with him I purchased 1 lbs of CSB-5 to load my 9mm. I have found load data on that caliber but nothing for 380. Does anybody have any experience with this powder/caliber yet? I contacted American Reloading and they directed me here to this forum.
I was able to find some IMR 3031 at Bass Pro for the 223 rounds but they only had 2 lbs on the shelf. I guess I'll have to buy it when I see it.
I shoot mostly the 9 and 223 but with the limited supply of 380 in my area, I thought I would reload those as well.
Thanks for your help.
