Thanks everyone, that is reassuring to know, as i am only new to this reloading. It is a lot of fun once you get into a rhythm though eh! When i said that they cycled ok i meant that i had test fired them at the range shortly after making them up. The reloaded ones were actually more accurate at 25m than the factory loads which was cool...considering i have only been shooting my Sig for 3 1/2 months. I did take out the barrel and drop test them to see if they would go in and out smoothly (and in a clean barrel i might add-haha) with no problems whatsoever so i must have it set up the right way. That coke bottle reference is interesting but good to know that it is normal for 9mm. I have measured the OAL of the ones I made and they are all around 2.98cm long (gotta love metric) which is about right. Thanks again guys. The support here is great.

Hi there, i have just started reloading my 9mm brass on my brand spankers Dillon 550B. I have done about 400 rounds through, and have tested them to see if they chamber and extract properly in my P226 Sig, with no problems. I notice that when the brass gets resized and deprimed, that the die only resizes it from the projectile end to about 2-3mm away from the rim at the base of the casing. this leaves a small bump in the case. Once the round is finished, it looks fine however still tapers in a bit from the primer end. Is there a way to stop this happening and to make the die resize the entire length of the casing? I have tried to adjust the die but the depriming pin is already touching the baseplate. Also, can someone please confirm what the OAL of a 9mm bullet is? thanks, Strabo.
