So yesterday I was making some of my 9mm range loads. I was using brass Ive used a handful of times (I stopped tracking load times on pistol brass). It was mainly remington and winchester(nato). I had a few random FC and Blazer I had gathered at the range. I was QAing my cartridges after I had made them and noticed all of the FC and Blazer bullets pushed all the way into the case with minimal thumb effort. I only taper crimp enough to remove the bell as the taper is not intended for bullet retention. I checked my resizing die and it does go all the way down and touches the plate. I do bell slighty, and my seating die removes that. I was using plated 115gr rn bullets.
To solve the issue i just pulled these bullets and chucked the FC and Blazer brass. I also went back and QAed my reloads I had in storage. Im of the thought process right now to just chuck any FC and Blazer I come across and move on.
Any thoughts on this lack of case neck tention?
