Glad to hear that. Spreadsheets are quite handy and can generate all kinds of graphics! But... I can't justify getting rid of my LabRadar because the only thing I chronograph are handgun loads.
Didn't do any actual reloading but I did take pic of my setup. The SDB on the left I have had for about 15 years and is used for .45 and soon .38 special. The 650XL I bought in late 2019 and is 9mm only.
Bought the labradar about a month ago. I love it. It is the only chronograph I have ever owned. After reloading for over 30 years I decided I needed one. Ordered it from Cabela's free delivery to local store (Woodstock).
I know the bench area is a mess at the moment. Just finished loading some 9mm on the left SDB. Much easier to work up test loads on it than the 650. The SDB is going to be converted and dedicated to .45 ACP next week. I got a case feeder for the 650 before Christmas and I plan to get that...
Just a suggestion. Get two different digital scales. I have a Lyman and one cheap Hornady.
Use them to compare loads. I trust my load when they read the same.
Zero them and weigh a penny.

I ordered 16 pounds of pistol powder from CDVS. I'm not seeing much information but I'm going to work on loads for .45 when warmer weather gets here. I see there are some users of it on the castboolits forum.
It is now out of stock!
Finally some confirmed pressure testing on this question. Top competitive shooters have been using SRP for years in their 9mm loads to prevent primer 'flow' due to high loads.
Sounds like the Bersa has a pretty stout recoil spring. You might have to go near max to get it to cycle properly. Pretty common in 9mm as most are factory designed to properly cycle NATO grade ammo.
I bought my 650 retail at Outpost Armory (Murfreesboro TN) it was pre set up for small primer and 38/9mm caliber but without dies.
It has run fine after the initial die setup, I did buy Dillon dies but it will work with Lee/Hornday and RCBS dies.
If all you plan to reload is handgun ammo...
