Well Chuck, your choice of a slow powder normally used for higher speed 9mm limits your choice of a wide range of loads. Widely used for "warm" loads, HS-6 is not suitable for light (lower speed) loads. And your choice of plated bullets brings in the complication that they have a "speed limit" and are not suitable for max speed loads.
So your combination will work, but only over a limited range.
There is nothing wrong with your components, but you might spend a little more time reading the technical parts of your manual.


"I've read that you should develop your test in 2% of max load, work up from starting load until seeing high pressure signs, then back off 15%." Maybe for rifles in bottle neck cartridges, but NOT in 9mm. DON'T TRY TO USE MAX LOADS as a beginning pistol loader. And certainly not with plated bullets, ever.


The first "pressure sign" you may see in a pistol cartridge is your gun coming apart. Don't try to reinvent the wheel. Just load a few right in the middle of your data and go shoot them to see how they work in your pistol.
