Got my Lee undersized die today. Went a little shorter on my original OAL so there was more bullet in the case. Can definitely see it grabs the bullet tighter but it still moved. Started with 1.140 shot 7 shots took last out measures 1.147 already. I also got my .38 short roll crimp die. I’m just going to wait on my other bullets that have the groove for the roll crimp.

Yep I understand. I ordered that exact resizing die yesterday also.
-
Awesome, I have both the Lee undersize die and this role crimp die coming. Should be in good shape, thank you so much for your help.

Two times so far
-
I have 2000 rounds of Starline that I picked up off the prize tables. I read in some other comments that people had issues with It in 929’s. I haven’t seen anything yet falls right in ejects nice.
-
Good to hear. I have the die on the way and a .38 short roll die also incase I need it. I have all new brass for the revolver.
-
Yes the standard Dillon 9mm
-
I did a bunch of testing yesterday all the way down to pretty short and they still kept moving. Here is a post that I started over in the reloading forum and they sent me over here.
-
I got some information from a gentleman over in the revolver forums. He told me to use a .38 short Lee roll crimp die.
-
This is it correct? I could just remove the seating part and use it as a standalone crimp die in my 650
-
I have that assortment of bullets on the way and I also ordered a Lee undersized sizing die for 9mm. I’ll do some experimenting with that die to see if I can get away with using my original Dillon taper crimp die. I’m still confused with which 9 mm Roll crimp die everybody is using. I can’t find a 9 mm roll crimp die on anyone’s web site. I called Dillon and they said they only make a taper for 9mm.

Hey Guys,
I need a 9mm roll crimp die to use on my 650 for my 929 loads. Have been searching forums and googling this stuff for two days. Can someone please give me a part number of a die that will work. I called Dillon and they said they only make a taper crimp die for 9mm.

Hi AHI,
Yeah started reading some of those posts this am. Thanks!

I ordered a good selection of bayous from 95gn to 160gn. I want to shoot steel challenge and ICORE at some point. Still have to figure out which roll crimp die. Dillons site makes it sound like if you order a 9mm crimp die it comes with both a roll (accu-crimp) and taper crimp die. I have two different guns shops near me that sell Dillon stuff. Might be able to pick one up and confirm this.
-
I grip the crap out of all my guns, even my .22’s. I’m using the regular Dillon taper crimp die. Im thinking about trying 95gn Bayous that have the grove and get the roll crimp die. Everything I have read says you shouldn’t roll crimp plated unless it has some sort of groove because it will damage the plating.

Alright guys after three hours of my life I will never get back here is what I tested/measured today. First the specs before moving anything:
A resized case is .375 OD and .349 ID
A belled case removed after the powder measure die is .355 at the very top edge and is gone about .066 down the case wall
Bullet measured .356
I wanted to try to keep the recoil profile the same as possible so I adjusted the charge as I went shorter to maintain 800fps average. I was at 1.145 case overall length so I started with 1.140. I would load 8 rounds and shoot 7 checking the last one for OAL change. I went all the way down to 1.110 and they are still moving outwards. Not as much but still moving. I'm not sure how much shorter is safe to go before I decide these aren't the right bullets for this gun.
-
When I first got the bullet feeder I was having issues with my open gun rounds coming loose also. The problem ended up being exactly what you are describing. At that time I adjusted to die as high as possible that the bullet would remain on top of the brass as an indexed to the seating die. I will look over everything closer later today.
-
Great information thank you !
-
Ok and that part in station 2 was swapped out with the addition of my bullet feeder. I’ll have to have a closer look/measurement of that.
-
The ones that fell out still seem to measure right at .356 - .357. My first station deprimes and resizes.
-
I’ll experiment tomorrow with a little shorter oal and make sure my crimp die is adjusted just to take the bell out. Probably can reduce the charge some with a shorter oal too.
-
I checked the height of my sizing die today and made sure It was adjusted down until it touched the shell plate. Might have to do some testing with a lighter, coated bullet and less powder.
