David Kachel Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 Don't know what's causing this. Can anyone help? It is a very sharp crease as you can see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DWFAN Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 Looks like the brass is hitting the ejection port on the way out. Will the crease come out when size the brass ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corey Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 (edited) looks like its hitting the back of the ejection port on the way out. not sure if some extractor tuning could help things ETA: haha, you beat me by a few seconds DW Edited August 24, 2010 by Corey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Kachel Posted August 24, 2010 Author Share Posted August 24, 2010 Will the crease come out when size the brass ? I doubt it. I've never seen sizing remove an indentation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWFAN Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 I would say either extractor is too tight, or ejector is too long. You may call Springfield and see if they can help before trying to remedy something yourself or with a local 'smith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cletus9mm Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 if your emp is new i would give it a couple thousand rounds to break in. i have a kimber with the very infamous external extractor (have ran a flawless 3-4k plus rounds by the way ) and it left the exact same mark in nearly an identical spot. the more rounds i fired, the less pronounced the dent became and now it no longer exists. fwiw i really hated those dents also. keep shooting, thats my solution!

David Kachel Posted August 27, 2010 Author Share Posted August 27, 2010 And this bothers you because....? Obviously, you don't reload. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wide45 Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 No reason you can't reload that brass. Doubt it will shorten brass life severely. How much do you plan to shoot your EMP? I'd expect it's meant to be carried a lot, and shot a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIIID Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 Take one of those pieces of brass and reload it, you might just be surprised. I've load brass cases that have been deformed worse than your pictures and had zero problems. Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duane Thomas Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 And this bothers you because....? Obviously, you don't reload. I got my first Dillon back in....1984 if memory serves, and have been pulling the handle every since - absent a blissful year or so when I was sponsored by Black Hills. If I haven't loaded over 100k rounds I'm certainly closing hard on it. I asked that question because, in my experience, the sort of creases we're seeing on the OP's brass have absolutely no affect on the reloadability or functionality of the brass.

Boxerglocker Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 What power factor loads are you using? i had the same issue with mine when I first got it using the 130 FMJ loads that I normally shoot out of my G34. I bumped it up to 136 and no problems since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I carry mine alot and shoot it alot... if you have an EMP9 you would understand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
