generally with 9mm it's trim once. and I believe saami spec is the max case length, not the operative case length. I've never trimmed a 9mm para case, not only that, if your cases *were* too short, then you'd be seating the bullets out farther, not deeper. I'll dig out some ammo tonight for you, I can also send you some bullets if you like?
Any assistance would be appreciated, it seems pistol calibre handloading is a very different beast to rifle calibre, so back to the drawing board! wallhead Thanks for the offer of the bullets, but i really only want to try stuff i will be able to continue to get my hands on later down the line.

Generally are their any good/up to date non-American pistol calibre loading manuals out there?

I load for an Armalon 9mm rifle, Enfield based. I only load to factory spec with 124gn lead or fmj but oal is important for feeding from the mag. I’ve found the faster pistol powders work better in the rifle.
