Well, I got my dies, brass, and berry's bullets to reload 9x18 Makarov today and got the dies set up and good to go with the proper powder disc (the .43 disc throws 3.6 grains of HP38 on my press). Here's my issue though. The Fiocchi brass that I bought does not seem to sit securely enough in the shell holder, which causes two problems....first of all, when the primer is supposed to be seated, the shell pops up out of the shell holder almost invariably. If I hold the brass in place, forcing it deep into the shell holder, I can manually get the primer to seat, usually. Assuming that happens, I have to be careful not to let the shell pop up again after it's been charged with powder. The shell holder that came with the die set is the same one that's used for 9x19, but the 9x18 must be a bit smaller. Has anyone else had this problem with Lee dies and the 9x18? Is anyone else RELOADING the 9x18? Hehehe!
Let me know and thanks guys,
