I think in the next couple months or so I'm going to start loading 9mm, just need to get some projectiles. I've read where a lot of people chunk the NATO brass due to having crimped primer pockets, but I had a decent amount of this ammo and now a good bit of brass from it. Recently I pulled one of these cases out of my stash and tried to gently prime it to determine if I'll need to ream the pockets. Well it primed fine with no real extra effort to my surprise. So is this typical of this brass or is it just a crap shoot whether they'll need reaming?
The ones of you that have loaded this brass recently, what have you found to be the case?
