Forever, this has not been an issue in the pistols I have run my hand loads through, but I recently purchased an FX-9 Carbine, and my handloads (and snap caps) will not usually extract on unfired rounds.
I typically have to fire into the backstop.
I purchased 50 Winchester White 9mm Round Nose and they extract unfired rounds, no problem.
Very base of my handloads are .3890 - .3950, more or less.
Very base of the Winchester are .3850.
My rim is tapered to 3785.
Winchester tapered to .3745.
OAL of handloads are about 1.145.
OAL of Winchester is about 1.16.
Only thing that seems excessive on my handloads is base diameter, which Speer manual shows to be max of .3917.
Sizing die (as with most sizing dies) doesn't size that last little bit of a case...could that little bit of difference be my issue?
FYI...the carbine shoots fantastic...fired brass ejects about 6 feet, with 4.0 grains of TiteGroup and 124 grain RMR Plated RN.
Only one misdeed in a few hundred rounds during breakin period.
