The key to loading 9mm safely is knowing your seating depth and how it compares to the seating depth in your data. My Lyman manual uses a 115 XTP...
I use Lyman data for 115 JHP, but a longer oal to compensate for the longer bullet. Speer has online data for the 115 TMJ that is quite different...

Those look like rounds that were at the top of the magazine when the slide short stroked. With light loads sometimes the slide doesn't get behind...
You realize how lucky you are?
In 9mm I make up dummy rounds (no primer, no powder) and make sure they plunk & twist and that they feed by hand cycling them through the gun(s)....
Cartridge gauges don't check oal. You need to check your rounds by dropping them into your barrel(s)making sure they chamber all the way. The...
I like 7 grains of Unique for that.
Went 'old school' with 9mm Luger today. Discontinued powder, discontinued bullets. Speer brass, Fed GM primers, 5.4 and 5.6 grains SR-4756, Win...

Loaded 50 rounds of 9mm Luger with Blazer brass, CCI 500 primers, MBC 125 'small ball', 3.4 grains W231 @1.090". Sweet target load for my Kimber,...
Just saw it in one of the old threads, I bottled those together in 2015. Not the best memory.
This question popped up a few years ago when I was big into 45 caliber coated SWC's, so I was concerned. I put a Blue Bullets 45/200 and 2 SNS...
Most likely that the primers just weren't seated to the bottom of the primer pocket. I've been having trouble with Remington 5-1/2 primers in my...
Have you considered powder coating?
I had a revolver that the rifling would cut the plating on Rainier 158 PFP and lead slightly, but not on the Rainier 125 PFP or any of the Berry's...
BL 550 here.
Good day at the press, lousy day at the range. Loaded 9mm Luger with CBC brass, CCI 500 and 4.4 and 4.6 grains WSF using Xtreme 124 PFP @ 1.050"...
