I will look up the plunk test for sure. I was wondering about crimping because berrys recommended a very light crimp, if any. What would my tolerances be for overall length? How much shorter can I make them before my pressures get too high? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I bought a box of Berry's 124g target point to reload 9mm. I loaded with 4.2g Bullseye with COL of 1.060" which I got from Berry's website. Racked my slide at the range to load a round and it became jammed in the chamber and the slide stayed open about 1/2" or so. It was stuck pretty good and...

That's what I thought at first, but the shape of the head was a bit flared, like no primer I had seen before. Took out my calipers and it is the same diameter of a small rifle primer. Then I popped a spent primer out a case and they look similar, but just a bit off. I'm sure that's what it is...
