Best brass for 9mm Luger

[tjhaile]

Brass is brass when it comes to pistol cartridges. I have always used whatever I have managed to scrounge. I wouldn't bother with 9mm with crimped primers due to the work involved.

Thanks all....great advice......S&B will be put aside....will load with my blazer first and keep sorting. Now coming across plenty of PPU....any input....anyone...

Note sure about their 9mm but I have lots of PPU in 45 ACP (I got a good sale on it a year ago and kept the brass) - good brass, no issues.

I've only been reloading for about 5 years, but I find the nickle plated starts to lose some of its finish after a few(4-5) reloads. Otherwise I don't care what brand, I use dillon carbide dies and keep loading the brass until cracks or deformation. S&B does have tight pockets, don't notice on 9mm but have to swag or ream their .44.

Brass is brass when it comes to pistol cartridges IMO. Keep the good condition stuff and toss the rest. Sort out the S&B junk and sell it to someone else or scrap it also. I only keep S&B brass is hard to find calibers that make it work the extra steps needed to uniform the primer pocket.

Can confirm, S&B was miserable to work with. I stopped picking it up after a while. Used a lot of Remington with no issues (with cast boolits).
