I’m reloading 9mm on a new Mark 7 Evolution, and am not sure how to adjust the swaging. When I load 100 rounds of all crimped range brass, I will have several primers that don’t seat properly and have to be tossed. Usually the crimp on these problem cases is not symmetric. On one side the crimp ring is thicker than the other. The primer is seated a little crooked, though not sideways, but gets deformed.
I have a Ballistic Tools primer pocket gauge arriving in the mail today, which should help.
Should I increase the swage until the No-Go end of the gauge fits into the primer pocket, and then back off a little? Or just increase the swage until the Go end of the gauge fits? Or something in between?
