There ain't really a "brass" forum so I'm posting where I'm comfortable.
My son has decided he wants to reload for his 9mm Luger, and purchased a Lee carbide 4-die set.
The effort to full-length resize the brass is more than any other pistol/revolver brass I've ever done (with a carbide die)... a lot more. On a handful of them I actually displaced brass and created a sharp ridge where the case stopped entering the die.
Is this normal with the 9mm?? Or should I be lookin' at a die problem??
I never thought about it, but I have a .38 ACP carbide resizing die I could have tried... but all the empty brass is resized now.
