Way back when I was young, I would put brass inside of a pillow case, zip tie the neck shut and run through the washer with a load of towels. it worked well for me.

After trying RNL, SWC and others I have settled on the DEWC for 99% of my .38 special loads these days. Mild recoil, accurate and cheap to load.

When loading for your 9mm you may want to start with a 124 grain bullet. These are easy to get to shoot well. There is lots of debate on jacketed,vs plated, vs coated vs lead. For target practice I have settled on the bayou bullets as the best bang for my buck. If you start using coated bullets you notice they are clean to load, clean to shoot, and leave your gun cleaner.

Bayou will sell you 100 round sample packs to try.
