Roll sizing

My 9mm brass is bulging and I'm looking for someone to roll size it for me. Ideally near Montreal as I cant wait too long to get it back
 
Yep but as I don't feel 900-1000$ would be a wise investment to roll size 2-3000 brass, I was hoping someone offered the service to shooters at a price

Is it special brass? seems a full length resize would do the same ..correct me if I'm wrong or just buy new brass..

Full length re-sizing in a press never fully re-sizes a piece of brass, there's always a small portion the die cannot get to due to the die design and the shell plate on the press.
You need to either use a piece of equipment like a case-pro to roll size or a machine that punches the brass completely through a die (inside one end and out the other - a simple version would be the Lee Bulge Buster mentioned by Baird, there are motorized versions too.)

I know Wolf Bullets has the equipment to full length size and prep brass, but with his current workload, I doubt he'd do it.

That's probably true I'm sure it is but does it make a significant difference even for those who compete, and setting up for it is it worth it rather than buying new brass or quality reloads.

I doubt it with 9mm, but 40 cal brass from the old Glocks couldn't be reused without roll sizing and more expensive and harder to get brass like 38 super and 38 super comp make it worth it.
 
The Lee/EGW undersize die.

Lee have them. They make EGW dies.

I have one in 40S&W but found that it didn't work as well on the 1050, so I got the CasePro100.
 
A friend has a roll sizer for his 38 super open gun.
It is as slick as it gets, but they aren't cheap.
I use the Lee Bulge Buster kit for my 40/45/9x40 to iron out any issues at the base and it works great for a fraction of the cost (I don't think it would work on 38 super though).
As for 9mm I believe the case has a slight taper so I don't know how well the Lee would work on it but for me once fired 9mm brass is free so if it has the slightest issue in the garbage it goes.

Lee doesn't make a 9mm Bulge Buster.

If someone wanted this badly enough, I think the bulge buster kit is a plastic bin that sits on top of a factory crimp die (maybe?) with a poker to push it through. You might be able to get the parts without the die and supply your own, or get a 40 one and replace the die. I just move the stuff with an obvious glock step in the base to the practise pile.

A more effective use of your time:
Befriend local police chief,
Convince him of the advantages that the extra capacity of 9 provides over 40,
Repeat with next-nearest chief,
Undercut other local ranges for their training.
