Was wondering if you have to trim the 9mm brass before swaging then to 40's?
Never seen a step-By-Step directions posted and waiting on my dies to make the trip across the country :lol:

Thanks for advice here

I didn't have to trim them. Bullets came out nice.

Actually, I believe it depends on the weight of bullet you want. I'm not sure what the cut off is, but I have read of lighter bullets made with cases cut to 9MAK length.

I'm going to try a 102gr core which should give me around 165gr finished product.

Thanks all for the input!
