The .357 and .38 cases are cylindrical. The 9mm chamber (and new factory brass) is tapered slightly.Hi,,Been reloading 38 sp and 357 for a couple years. Just started to reload 9mm. My question is this,, Why does it take so much more effort in the resize die for the 9 then it does for 357 mag? I use a LCT and Lee die set. Thanks
Just be careful you don't throw your arm out the first time you try it when there is no resistance on the handle.Just lightly spray your 9x19 brass with any brand case lube and they'll go through your sizing die like greased lightning.
Nope, tumble after sizing to remove the lube.
You ever finger diddle a greased lead bullet? Take that lube off there and yer good to go! notand people complain about bullet setback and blame it on expander plugs and bad sizers, but its probably the lube that got into the case.
