You'll probably get a better response in the reloading section. That said, have you looked at any reloading manuals? That will give you starting loads and what powders/primers/bullets you will need. You can also look into specific loads for your specific pistol. That can give starting data as well. Beware, some reloaders have lots of experience and load over recommended max loads which may not be safe for your intended use. For the newbie its best to stick to proven loads in manuals or online gunpowder sites. Oh, and reloading can get as addictive as shooting and guns themselves so beware

There is a reloading section bud. Get the lyman reloading manual 49th year edition or something like that its the best one I've read

I reload 45 and it saves a ton of money.

yeah look into the reloading section, those guys know a lot!

If you have never reloaded it might be best to not get a progressive press at the start. But as others have said read, read and read some more. To get you started I would suggest the ABCs of Reloading.
