Typically I have used either Winchester or Federal brass for my 9mm luger loads but since I have collected quite a lot of Remington 9mm brass I decided to give it a whirl. Big dissapointment, the reloads look like a snake swallowing a rat. The wall thickness of the Remington cases are over a thousandth greater than the Winchester brass and it is very ductile. the cases loos like they are stretched over the bullets. The loads functioned fine but they just looked awful.
Tried inserting the expander a deeper but that created too much belling and caused a ripple below the crimp. Currently I am using RCBS dies and they work beautifully with Winchester brass and Federal brass. I could back the sizer die out a bit but then the bases won't get fully sized and that could lead to feed problems. Is there another die manufacturer the doesn't size the case quite a much near the mouth?
