Trim 9mm Brass?

[UziLand]

The only time I trim 9mm brass (and it's a royal PIA) is for frangibles. This is because the crimp is so critical. If you over crimp you can fracture the bullet and not notice it. I would rather trim than take the chance of firing a fractured round. You all know how ugly that could be:banghead:

Nope, I never trim for semi-auto pistol brass. I load for 9mm, 45acp and .380acp.

The only handgun brass I trim is .357 mag and 38 special just in order to get a consistent crimp.

Believe this one may be falling into the asked and answered category. Tis rare to see such agreement around these parts.

Am I the only one that has found 9mm brass that was longer than .754?

You will always lose them before needing to be trimmed.
