Hi Hickok45, Do you get case bulge with your 9mm. I get it with my 40 S&W and it will not fit in my go/no-go gage, after being resized. Are you using a different barrel, or don't you have the same bulge issue with the 9mm. Thanks Much, Kirk

@tazo300 , No, not at all.

Thanks for the video.

I remove the barrel of the gun(s) I'm going to use and gauge with them. Not all, maybe a dozen or so. This simple process has worked so far.

Good to know

@ckk1106 You probally won't have to trim pistol cases to length unless your shooting high preasure magnums with hot loads. You may get some case stretch during the resizing operation. I use carbide dies and just a verry light spray of Hornady case lube on my pistol cartidges and have not had any length issues with multiple reloadings.

@tazo300 Run you cases thru a case debulge die by lee. They cost less than $20 and remove the bulge near the case head.

why would anyone dislike a video like this?

@tazo300 Maybe you should try to check out the Lee Bulge Buster kit, attaches to the lee factory crimp die. I reload .40 for a p226 so I do not have the bulge problem but have heard that the product works well. Good luck

Do you ever have to trim pistol brass? I know after a few firings I have to trim my rifle cases, but I've never reloaded for pistol.

@N1834J Try a little less flare on the case, if you over flare it will cause it to do that. I also started using a lee factory crimp die, it has a carbide post sizing ring in it that can correct mess ups or a case buldge. I found that after using that I havent had one problem with anything failing to feed. Plus I like to crimp in a seperate stage anyways.
