So after reading through a few manuals and books I finally get to loading my first round. I've got a Hornady Pro-jector which I inherited. It came with 9mm dies which I've checked and all looks good.
I've got some spent cartridges which I've run through a tumbler and then put into the press.
The first station works ok, the primer is decaped. On the next station the primer is loaded but its not completely seated. I had to remove the disc just to remove the brass. I've checked everything but the primer just doesnt want to get seated flush.
It sticks out about 1.3mm. I've tried another cartridge and the same thing happens. The brass I'm using is 9mmP - PMP
The primers are SP - small pistol primers .
I then took one of the spent primers and loaded that - it fit in flush and everything looks good.
I compared the dimensions of the primers are they are almost the same.
New primer: 2.9mm x 4.4mm
Old primer: 3mm x 4.4mm
Any ideas? - I'm racking my brain on this one.
