I bought 12,000 224 tracers from Wideners for a local group buy, now I am working up a load to get them to light off.

I haven't measured anything yet but can if it will help. I will have to...
I would recommend swaging as well but, if your going to use the chamfer method, I would go with this one and buy an adapter at your local hardware store to run it in drill press. It is adjustable as to not remove to much material when being used. I done hundreds of 308 berdan cases with it...
I have had the same type of failure in 9mm brass as in your picture, right at the 6 o clock area, the least supported area of the chamber. I have also had a complete failure that left the brass in the chamber while ejecting the base only.
