Okay, when I first started loading 9mm on my RCBS Rock Chucker single stage, I grew frustrated and gave up because it was slow and I did not understand the process very well. I then started loading .223 on it after reading and asking buddies at the range. I had no problem loading and shooting my reloads.
I ventured into loading .38 and .357 on the rock chucker with no problem and then bought a Dillon SQDB for $60 off a friend (I know, I pretty much stole it). It was set up for .45 and I have loaded/shot thousands of rounds with the Dillon... I recently purchased a Dan Wesson Pointman in 9mm, bought the expensive SQDB dies and tried to load 9mm again (this time on the Square Deal B).
I suspect that my problem lies in the resizing phase because my reloaded ammo is not allowing my pistol to go fully into battery. Then when I try to rack the slide back to get the bullet out, the slide is VERY hard to pull back. I have measured my bullets against factory rounds and it seems that its the bottom portion of the case that is swelled out a bit.
I figured, "okay, I know what the problem is: its old brass shot through my unsupported Glock 19 barrel". So i tried different brass, new brass, that feeds perfectly fine in my Dan Wesson even without a bullet in the case and yet after the resizing, depriming, etc 75% of my reloads jam my gun. What gives???? I have lessened the crimp, crimped more, used different brass, different OAL, etc. What is my problem? I don't know what else to try. PLEASE HELP!?
