The way I read it, I have to be an FFL to get one?

My magnet seems to catch most of the escapees. As far as I can tell, the brass doesn't seem to care about the low quality magnetic ss pins. They're shiny!
Old man, You must have a bigger drum than my 15 lb capacity to do such big batches.

The first picture is of about 440 cases of 9mm, (two batches) after tumbling.
The second picture is of 12 cases of 9mm after tumbling, and some below before tumbling. Notice the clean primer pockets.

Get the deprimed brass to me in Prior Lake, and I'll get it like new for $10/170 .45 cases.

My bad. April.
Have you ever been there?

I hear this fair is a good time for a date, or the whole family.

It's this weekend.

Not. It's in April.

Yes! Brass comes out gorgeous. I will have to invest in a depriming tool since I don't want to gunk up my resizing dies. I've started using a small magnet in the drain hole to catch those few pins that try to go down the drain. I was concerned about drying the brass, but it comes dry pretty quickly....

Look what arrived only moments ago.
I'm in business.

The FAQ pages at the Lee website were right. The 9mm is a difficult caliber to load because, "the case is tapered, smaller at the top." I stumbled onto the advice to tumble the cases after resizing and depriming, for their pages are numerous and unorganized. The results for the new batch a...

Sorry, Sam. I'm used to metric when it comes to science. I'll switch over to inches, and ...voila. Nothing wrong with my sizing die. Duh. :oops: I'm going to take out the crimp entirely, reset the sizing die, and I see the wripple moving down the case as I find the right depth, (using inches). I thr...

Thank you, everybody, for your input. The ammo I'm making feeds through my G19 without a problem, and expands to a normal looking case after firing. If I flare the opening of the case any more, I squish the case. Lee includes a crimping die for their 4-hole turret press, so it should be OK to give 9...

OK, then I'm just being a perfectionist? Factory ammo is straight and true and that's how I expect my ammo to look. The fact that the wrinkle is more pronounced on one side of the round makes me think the bullet starts out crooked before it starts its path down the barrel.

I'm thinking I got a bad 9mm Lee sizing and depriming die, because I have experimented with changing the case mouth belling when charging the case...

I am new to reloading and I am using a Lee Press and dies. When making 9mm I have used several types of bullets so far, (115 gr Remington and 124 gr Hornady), and I get a ripple in the shell after seating the bullet with no crimp. (I crimp with the fourth die.) The wrinkle appears 2/3 from the botto...

Thank you for everyone's input. You've given me a lot to think about. I am in the beginning stages of reloading, and I stumbled on the Hornady website's and their H.I.T.S. calculator. http://www.hornady.com/hits/calculator Punch in the bullet weight, diameter, and fps, and it will tell you the size ...
