I'm new to reloading, and I have a question about seating the bullet.
I'm reloading 9mm on the Lee Classic Turret Press with the Lee Deluxe 9mm die set. Right now I'm using new Winchester brass with 95 grain jacketed bullets (couldn't find 115 grain ).
I've made a few small batches to get to a load I like and right now I have two 8 round batches at home waiting to be shot. My question is can I seat one of these batches a little further?
I've noticed I'm getting a little more bullet setback than I'd like and I want to seat one of these batches a few more hundreths of an inch. I've already put a light crimp on it with the Lee FCD and was wondering if I could put it back in the press and shove the bullet down a little more. I have a feeling the crimp will dig into the bullet and I shouldn't do this but I thought I'd ask the crowd here to see what you all think. Worst case scenario I just shoot them as is or I wait until my bullet puller finally ships and I get it in the mail, pull the bullet and do it over. If I can just toss it in the press and jam that thing down a little more though... that would be sweet
