Apologies if this question has been asked before. I did scan for info in this forum, and didn't find any. I'm new to reloading (totally cool hobby, by the way), and recently received an order from RMR for 9mm Luger BrightFired Brass Cases #1, at a 1000 count. The first hundred I reloaded are having several bullet setbacks, even when there is hardly any pressure on the bullet nose. The cases are clearly 9mm, and yes there are a few non-9mm in the mix, but that was to be expected. Case expanding was almost too easy (my first red flag); and basically needed barely any to comfortably seat the bullet. I'm using 115g bullets. Wait for it. Here they come. The newbie dumb questions of the day...
Is there some correlation between the weight of the bullet and the available case used to seat it? Would a higher weight bullet have alleviated the issue?
I'm at the point where I'm apprehensive to even shoot one of the darned things. All other reloading I've done recently with 9mm were with cases not purchased from RMR, and they all worked like a champ. Any info from the masters of this craft is greatly appreciated. Thanks to all...
