New 9mm reload
Here is one of my reloads for 9mm. How did I do?
No harm. no powder or primer. Just testing seating the bullet and didn't pay attention to back out the adjustment screw. Big Ooops.

Re: New 9mm reload
I think maybe it would be a tad compressed. It takes little practice to get used to dialing it in. Glad you were running a test round instead of a live one but either way you can dismantle andmaybe salvage.

Re: New 9mm reload
When I first installed my .38spl dies the first test round looked about the same. Sorry for the bullet.

Igniting the primer should knock it out! Just kidding!

Re: New 9mm reload
Yes, with jacketed you can do that. But lead bullets get damaged and can't be reloaded, or at least that's what I got told. Haven't tried it.

I don't reuse lead boolits, just toss 'em in the casting pot for next time.

Re: New 9mm reload
Now that I got my seating die calibrated (and very familiar with the kinetic bullet hammer) I can work on getting the powder dropped properly. This could be FUN!

Re: New 9mm reload
Lol that's too funny, because I did the exact same thing the first time I tried to dial in the seating die lol. I didn't think that from the factory the height adjustment would be so low!
