Out of the ten or so calibers that I reload, 9MM is probably my least favorite. Aside from the diminuative size of the case making it a pain to handle, relatively small changes in charge weight, bullet weight, seating depth, type of brass etc. often result in some fairly substantial performance changes. I guess I just don't like piddling around with these micro variables when it is so much easier and rewarding to spend my time on the .45 ACP, .38 Special or several other cartridges.
As a new reloader, I would suggest you develop your skills with the .45 ACP, which is a reloaders dream, and leave the 9MM for another day.
