All, I took a pic of two cases side-by-side for comparison. The one on the left has been expanded. Do you guys think this is enough, too much, or not enough? I took one with the bullet sitting in it but it didn't focus properly so I'll have to redo that tonight.

Thanks all! And thanks again Marty for all the help at the store. I had a softball game last night that ran late so I didn't get to do any reloading, but I plan to make up for that tonight. I'll let you all know how it goes. I plan to load about 50 cases completely, and then test fire those at the range to see how they do. Once I get a feel for what I'm doing and ensure that things are going well, I'll make some more.

All, I am very new to reloading. I just bought a bunch of equipment from a very helpful fellow at Cabela's in Fort Worth. First off, if anyone on here has reloading questions in the Fort Worth area, I highly recommend talking to Marty at Cabelas.

Anyway, I have all my stuff setup, I've read all the manuals, and I successfully decapped / resized all my cases. I'm now at the point I want to start expanding them (we're talking 9mm). My question though is that I'm unclear as to how much expansion I need. I think i have it set right, but i'm not quite sure how to tell. If anyone can provide me any insight into this, then please do. Thanks again!
