Based on cover to cover reading of my first Speer reloading book, the #10 1970 something revision, 9mm is extremely pressure sensitive to seating depths. .030" can drive pressure up more than double. So, being a person who takes everything in this hobby seriously, I do trim all my brass, be it 9mm or other, it gets trimmed accordingly.
As for 9mm brass not stretching, it does. I trim all my once fired 9mm brass to published trim too lengths, and when I reload it the second time, it has grown at least .005" or more after resizing. So in a test, I took once fired brass that most measure around .751", which BTW is just .003" shorter than SAAMI max length of .754" and I didn't trim it, loaded it and then shot it. After resizing during the next reloading session it measured .757"+, that's at least .003" beyond SAAMI max.. Left untrimmed for another 1 or 2 relaodings it will grow at least .010" beyond max. Needless to say, I trim all of it to .744" and then when it goes beyond .754", which some does, I give it another trim.
My point being, that if you don't trim 9mm brass, ever, it is going to exceed SAAMI max. by a significant degree. And since I pretty much load stout jacketed stuff that takes pressures up in to maximum range, so .010" or more will definitely have some effect on pressures. If this was not true there wouldn't exist a SAAMI spec. with stringent guidelines as well. Now for those who load target or plinking loads, I doubt you would notice much, if any difference in pressures. And then there is the head space issue, which can cause problems with the action not going into full battery if rimless brass is allowed to go well beyond SAAMI max.. I seem to hear a good deal about reloaders having problems with rounds not going into battery, even though OAL is in check, I wonder why?
