case sizing issues

[sparty1984]

I ran 9mm brass through a Lee Bulge Buster and then through the standard Decap/Sizing die on a dillon 550. unfortunately I got lazy and didn't check them all in a case checker.
I am getting fail to fire/eject due to case bulges.
I am going to order a roll sizer to hopefully keep this from happening in the future.
do I need to go through the step of removing all the projectiles and start over or has anyone ran loaded brass through a roll sizer.

the one I am considering is the Manual unit at https://www.rollsizer.com/buy-a-rollsizer/

thanks in advance for any advice

I assume you are using the Makarov FCD to bulge bust and your sizing die is both dimensionally good and installed correctly. Before spending that kind of money on a rollsizer, might want to check if your sized, but unloaded cases will plunk in your chamber. If so the problem is likely in the reloading procedure.

If your gun is not causing the bulges I would get brass without bulges. Hyland lofts and many others here have buckets of the stuff. If it is your gun, seriously consider a replacement barrel.

I checked several, especially when I first started using it and they fit in the size checker but I ran through 1,000 or so rounds and only checked the first 30 or so
I am getting the FTFs only once in a while, but enough to be frustrating - maybe 3 or 4 out of 100

I send finished rounds through a EGWGuns.com case checker. Cheap insurance. No FTLs. Once, had a 5.56 BCG slam an ill-fitting round so hard that it friction-welded itself into the chamber. Couldn't even drill it out.

Backing up in the process, maybe consider case-checking dodgy or bulge-busted brass. Loading, then de-milling a round seems like a total waste of effort.
