Don’t mean to hi jack the thread, but since this discussion is about 9mm and LEE dies I thought I'll squeeze a quick question in ; for 9mm are you guys using LEE Factory Crimp Die or just seat the bullet in?

Ps: I’ve got 9mm 3-die set.


Lee's seating die has the crimp fonction, read the instruction come with the dies.

if the seating die worked that well why would they have the Factory crimp die? :wink:


because Glock no-standard barrel... :lol:

I don't what the issue might be. I have Lee Carbide 9mm dies and I haven't noticed anything with mine. I run 'em through the Pro 1000 dry too.

How is your brass length? (Just a wild stab at an answer.)

I just checked about a dozen pieces of brass at random, and they are all between .740" and .745", which is well under the max case length of .754"
I know that 9mmP brass is slightly tapered...I wonder if there might be either a problem with the chamber the brass was fired in, or even my new Lee carbide sizer die?

I think you will find that all 9mm brass is tapered, not just 9mm+p. Send the die back and Richard "will make it right". I hope you haven't had it for more than two years though. :oops:

Steve...you'll notice that I wrote 9mmP, not 9mm+P
9mmParabellum :wink:

I remember reading that their new dies didn't require using the FCD, just the older ones, change in production apparantly. Also they say they provide a superior crimp that their competitors dies.

I'm pretty sure this was on their website a while back.
 
yeah. If I read it right, their new dies have a tighter dimension, and they imply that other mnfrs dies may not be as tight.

I'll hunt around and see if I can find it.
