Loaded 50 9mm's last night sized to .356. 47 out of 50 dropped right into the gage. The difference was using two seperate steps (seating then crimping) instead of trying to seat and crimp in one...

:confused:I'm having trouble understanding headspace with my 9mm loads. Some of you may be tempted to tell me that I'm close enough but I'm a perfectionist.
