I have a pet pistol i like messin with, a DB-9. So i am feeding it some real nice reloads that i back off flakes just a lil'. This lil' 9mm want do +P and IMO , i aint sure how long it would do store ammo 9's.. Keep in mind i do have my sig938. I can take the DB-9 completely down, thats fun to me. It runs flawless and i have made 3 parts for it. I can't stand most plastic internal parts. My friend has a huge state-of-the-art machine shop for 35 years.

Let me say: I start with decapped super shiny brass.

I have the Lee bulge buster kit but was aware they made a 9mm version as mine does 380, 357 Sig, 40 S&W, 10mm, 400 COR-BON, .45 GAP, .45 ACP, .45 Win Mag, and 41 Action Express. I use it for 45 ACP only since that is all from the list I shoot.

am i correct that a bulge buster die is just a factory crimp die with the guts removed? and of course a pusher that fits into the press ram in place of a shell holder. i think i remember reading that someplace.

Ive got the redding die for 40s and what i do to make it much eaiser is just spray a bit of one shot case lube on them. It doesnt take much and between running them through that die and then the sizer die when i reload it doesnt leave enough on to hurt a thing.

How does the wife feel about mounting that press to the kitchen counter? LOL! Mine ran me back out to the garage after a pan of 2230 went across the tabletop.;-)

think so xwrench3. It does work great, but now i think 9 FCD will fo same but guess.

PK, no wife round here. Everythings out in garage, all under one roof. I'll stand there and watch tv and do 45acp thru FCD too.

The bulge buster is just a ram with the center drilled out and a threaded insert that fits your factory crimp die which also allows you to stick a catch can on top. I use mine for .40 since I have a Glock and a bunch of range brass I've been working on reloading for it.
