Lee Loader for 9mm Semi Rounds

Has anyone gone against official Lee advice and reloaded 9mm loads with the Lee Loader kit for a semi automatic pistol? If so, any tips for a newbie?

The likely reason for the advice is that the whaka mole loaders only neck size to nominal seating depth . Probably only about .2 on the 9mm . The wide variations of 9mm chambers makes it impractical if you happen to pick up a case that isn't yours . Then there's the chamber support .......

I'm not normally an advocate of just spend the money already but this is a place where even if all you buy is a hand press and either an FCD or bulge buster you should .

That's where I started in 1967. I had recently purchased a Browning High Power and wanted to cut my ammo costs a bit. Didn't take me long to graduate to a press dies and a scale, haven't looked back and any tips I might have had are lost in the mists of time.
