Balakay Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Trying to reuse my brass. Getting too many rounds rejected by the Hundo case gauge. Can I use a Lee 9 x 18 Makarov FCD on my Redding GRx push thru set up to eliminate the base bulge? I have read that this will work for 9mm but haven’t seen anything regarding 38Super Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ssanders224 Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Just order an EGW (lee) U die. Make sure it is touching the shell plate in the full "down" position. Shouldn't have any issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TONY BARONE Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Why are you getting bulge? Is your barrel over throated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balakay Posted July 23, 2018 Author Share Posted July 23, 2018 I thought about trying the U-die again. However, when I was loading a lot of .40 I found it to increase the resistance of the press significantly, even with case lube so I went with the GRx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it seems to happen a lot more with nonStarline brass that has been reloaded multiple times (still waiting for that Starline sponsorship lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hi-Power Jack Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 You should be able to reload .38 MANY MANY times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ssanders224 Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Starline Brass Lee U-Die Hornady One-shot This should be a fool proof setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3gunDQ Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 The best way to eliminate the buldge is to roll size the brass. If you are getting the buldge after shooting it in your gun... then your gun is the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
