Starting Components Advice

I sure hope so, I wish I ordered more when it was $17.99

Just save up some money and chill until June. Their father's day sale SHOULD drop the prices down to $24 or less. I am expecting 21.99 based on last year's prices. If they are cheaper, then oh goodie...

1. For pistol ammo when reloading for practice, do you normally match up head stamps? This would be mostly 45 ACP and 9MM.

I don't match headstamps for any pistol loads, ever. On your 45 ACP, just match your primer sizes

2. What is a good starting load to compete with 9MM? I am looking to do IDPA and maybe USPSA later on down the road. Currently it seems like 147 grain jacketed bullets (shooting a glock) with Tite Group is the current common load for this round. My understanding is that it provides a softer recoil since it can be loaded subsonic. My question would be what would be good bullets to load with; brand and type?

I prefer 147gr FMJ, with N320. Is it cheap to load? No, but it's soft shooting. Check out Xtreme plated bullets to save some money, around 0.10 per bullet

If you think THAT is a soft shooting load, you should try the Lee SWC 105gr... It will make the gun float out of your hands when you put the mag in...
