New question, bullet weights:)

Get a chronograph also. It will allow you to make the perfect round for a particular gun that will ba a match for factory loads.

N320? Where did you find that?

My guess is from a fellow NESer? I was offered N320 by a member (rutilate) to trade for some Power Pistol that I have but I declined.

Correct The reviews in a couple of forums were goo so I decided to go for it

Berry's suggests you use 50% loads with their bullets, because they're plated, not jacketed.

I get the difference between jacketed an plated, but if you only use 1/2 loads how could that work? I'm picturing a cartoon bullet falling out of the air...

Cool, another $100... Got a recommendation?

I've really been enjoying the Caldwell chrony. It communicates with an audio cable to my iphone/ipad and allows me to manipulate the data there, rather than through some antiquated interface.

1/2 loads will not work. They probably won't even cycle the action on your gun(s). I'm going to give Kurtz the benefit of the doubt and say that he meant halfway between the min and max published loads. Especially if you're using plated bullets, make sure not to over-crimp. Electroplating is very thin and can easily be split by over-crimping... Not to mention that most auto-loading pistols headspace on the case mouth. 2nd picture on Google Image search. That silver is exposed lead core.

A chronograph isn't imperative if you're just starting out, but they are very nice to have. If you decide you need one, here are some helpful threads.
