Re: What did you reload today?
The bullets I used were traditional lead with wax in a groove. Whatever the process was to put the wax in the groove must have gotten it all over. I couldn't see the wax on the tips of the bullets, but the die was obviously very good at picking it up. I'm guessing these bullets were 15 or 20 years old. I've got some JHP 110 & 158 grain and some FMJ 115 grain bullets, and I plan to buy some of Ron's 125 grain coated. I wouldn't buy lead myself, but heck, they were free.
I've also been reloading some lead bullets for 45 Colt and 44 Special, but those aren't gumming up the dies like these 9mm did.
LOL I cleaned it a week ago, and it was such a big occasion that I took these pictures. The key addition since then was a padded seat cushion for the stool.
It's a great workbench. 15' long 2 X 4 frame bolted into three walls, 3/4" plywood glued and screwed, with 1/4" hardboard and then commercial floor tile laminated to the top with vinyl cement. The 2 x 4 frame extends up the wall for the pegboard. The whole thing is ridiculously solid.

Re: What did you reload today?
I have 45 ACP going on the progressive and 300 Blackout on the Rock Chucker.
I got a Magnetospeed chrono for the rifles which should make chrono on the rifles a lot easier. So I need to get that going to develop some 300 Blackout loads with 110g bullets.
The 45 ACP I have been using Win 231 powder which seems ok but I prefer Titegroup and Power Pistol. I had a couple of bins of prepped brass that was primed so that was easy.
I might buy a batch of 45 ACP brass just to use up all the components I have and then I will be set for 45 ACP for a loooonnggg time.
Also need to do some 7.5 Swiss, 7.62 Nato, 38 Special, 357 Magnum, 9mm. I got no shortage of things to do for sure.

With a Magnum?
Here's today's reloads. I'm on my way to buy 7,000 CCI small pistol magnum primers for three of us, and I remembered that I already have some from Dad's supplies. I'm going to chrono these at the range on my way to the purchase, and if the gun blows up, then I'll just make like the typical Craigslist buyer and disappear.
I'll shoot the minimum load of Bullseye with the magnum primers. If those look OK, then I'll shoot mid-power loads with both WSP and CCI Magnum primers to see if there's much of a difference.

Re: What did you reload today?
These loads look fine and I don't think you will blow up. I personally wouldn't go much higher with Bullseye since it is not a good powder for hot loads. Use Bullseye for target loads and slower powders for full power.
You do realize you started out loading the hardest pistol load possible. Trying to load uncoated cast bullets in a 9mm is challenging for even the most experienced handloader. The high pressures and shallow rifling on most 9mm's can lead a barrel badly once you reach pressures high enough to stabilize the bullet and cycle the slide. I have only had success with powders much slower than you used like HS-7 / w571. Even then the loads are dirty with unburnt powder but I can shoot a few hundred with minimal leading. I am not saying your pistol will have a problem but keep a close eye out for excessive leading and don't shoot a hot jacketed bullet after a lot of lead rounds without checking.
