Thank you all. Glenwolde, thank you for pointing out the OAL issue. It is interesting to see from the Lyman's 50th reloading edition that the OAL for the 9 mm Luger is 1.169 but specifically for the 124 gr jacketed HP bullet being placed, it is 1.060. Yet the 1.060 seems very short in terms of...

I have reloaded a bunch of 9 mm brass using 231 Winchester powder 4.1 grain, small pistol Remington primers, with 9 mm 124 grain Berry's round nose, OAL 1.162 on average and yet after crimping, many will not fit in the 9 mm Wilson gage. Some do and yet some do not and I do not understand why...

I started to reload 9 X 18 mm Makarov (I have a Russina Makarov handgun) since I cannot find 9 mm bullets and brass for my Smith and Wesson MP Shield gun. I had ordered from Graf and Sons what I thought was 9 x18 but when the brass came it was "9 mm Ultra Police brass." On the other hand, when I...
