Loaded about a thousand 125gr 9mm rounds over 4.3gr of Win231; No idea how but I zeroed my vernier wrong setting up the die.
Loaded the lot kinda short @ 1.080. Was aiming for 1.135"

Shooting them in a ramped barrel 1911, planning on seeing how they go tomorrow unless anything thinks otherwise ;)

If you have a kinetic bullet puller you may try tapping them out a bit and re-crimping.

What kind of 125 gr. projectile? Hornady uses a 125 gr. Sierra FMJ, loaded to 1.090", and their STARTING load is 0.1 gr. HIGHER than yours. If your projectiles are similar, I would expect that you are okay, pressure wise. If your projectiles are cast lead, I suspect that you are "MORE okay", pressure wise.

I'd try 'em.
Next time around, I'd also measure the first few off the press rather than the last few.:bigsmyl2:

However-
I doubt you'll shoot your eye out kid.

Absolutely ;)

No issues shooting them, felt like decent +P rounds, brass and primers fine. Not an accurate load however.
Oh well
