hlpressley Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 Hello guys I am looking for some help/advice here. I am relatively new to reloading and have been loading 9mm mostly using Zero 147gr Zero FMJ. So far they seem to shoot fine but they all have a slight "bulge" around the case right at where the bottom of the bullet would sit inside the case. It almost seems as though the bullet is too large for the case resulting in the bulge. I have done numerous hours of research on this topic but haven't came up with much that is certain to ease my concern on this issue. My camera isn't the greatest but here is a few pics that may give you an idea what I am speaking of. Thanks in advance for any help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sroe3 Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 That is normal with 9mm. The neck tension is what holds the bullet in place. No problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiggerJJ Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 As long as that bulge is even all the way around its good, its exactly what you want. That looks to be a perfect reload. Go shoot em! jj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarge Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 Normal. Good neck tension. No setback worries. Excellent looking round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve RA Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 The "wasp waist" effect is good as it really helps prevent bullet setback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimmyZip Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 That round looks faulty. Please load up 1K and send them to me for expert analysis! No, really, looks great. Enjoy. JZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
