What all are you trying to do?

I will agree that a casepro is a good way to roll size the bottom portion of 9mm brass but that is not the end of "processing" in most cases (no pun intended).

FOR PISTOL.

decap inspect, wash inspect, base swage/bulge bust inspect, load inspect with cartridge gage.

Yes: lee has 9mm one, ask for makarov Factory Crimp Die.

CARTRIDGE GAGE WILL TEACH ANYONE HOW TO MAKE AMMO.





Party like its 1776.

my freakin machine only likes fully processed brass... ie pocket swage and size before running. Would like an automated machine. The guy that does brass here has some old blue free standing ones but he wants 5k for each of them.

Case sizing issues can often be settled by sizing the brass in a single stage press once in a while with dies that don't have a large chamfer at the entrance. That chamfer, along with some shellplate designs are the most common cause of oversized bases when coupled with sloppy pistol chambers. If left untreated, the cases will often develop belts above the case groove.

I automated one of my casepro machines.

Video of it running.

They only size the portion of the case that cannot be sized during normal operations. As you likely know 9x19 is a tapered case (.014" from one end to the other) so push through sizers are not ideal.

Before I run the load pass I process my brass (after roll sizing) with size/deprime die and swage. This has all but eliminated any malfunctions during the loading pass (zero in the last 7800 rounds).

I use a modified 1050, because there is no powder to sling out of the case, you can speed the cycle time up quite a bit faster than the loading process.

In this video IIRC it's running around 4500+ cases per hour.
