For a while, I used mixed 9mm brass that I reloaded on my CoAx. I was having too high a percentage of them that would not fit in the case gauge or would fail the plunk and spin test.
I decided to buy new Starline brass and have been reloading that for a while now. It never presents problems and always passes both the gauge and plunk test. Darned if I didn't try using some Winchester brass I had laying around and about half of the ten reloads would not pass the gauge test. The round is too thick even using the Lee FCD.
I continue using just the Starline brass but it troubles me why I am having no problems with that brass but problems with mixed brass. I went as far as separating the mixed brass and using just Winchester or Federal or some other brand but it the results were the same.
Any thoughts?
