Can anyone help me out with the code? Looks like Cheetos is the man. Thank you!

Tried priming by hand on the empties that had dropped primers. I was barely able to get it started in the primer pocket. I tried the same thing with some other once fired brass and had the same result. So, I don't think the primer pockets were too loose. I opened up one of the holes on my...

Potatohead, Where do you purchase spare discs? Do you just pick hole that throws a little less then you want and file lightly around the perimeter of the hole?

I have not cleaned the primer pockets at all. I tumbled the spent brass in corn cob media and then decapped at the first stage of my Lee turret, while resizing. Also, I fired almost 200 of these same loads, and it looks like only four or five experienced the missing primer.

Using . FC. Brass, once fired. I bought factory rounds, fired them and saved my brass. I have not tried some of these suggestions yet because I am at work. Thanks hanks again for all the help.

CCI small pistol primers.

Thanks for the ideas. I will report back after work.

jwrowland77, are your 4.0gr FMJ loads using 115gr bullets? What type of firearm are you shooting them through? 4.0gr on the Berry's in my Glock didn't seem to have quite enough oomph to eject the brass away from my face. It did cycle the action, and was definitely a very mild smooth shooting...

Headstamp is ".FC." I tried 4.0gr loads and the brass was ejecting directly into my face. Have people been successful using the epoxy/file method? I'm worried about a rougher surface after tampering leading to inconsistent drops. I am shooting these loads in a stock Glock 19, by the way.

Thanks for all the help. 1. Berry's load data: I know the LRN max is 4.3gr, but Berry's does say its fine to use mid-range jacketed data. I couldn't find any FMJ data, but my Lee manual and Hodgdon site list 115 GR. SPR GDHP with a min of 4.5gr and a max of 4.8. 4.4gr seems like it should...

Howdy, I am new to reloading and have only loaded up a few batches of 9mm. I shot about 200 rounds at a steel shoot this evening and noticed that a few of my empties were missing primers. All of the rounds fed, fired, and ejected without issue. Recoil was not bad, nor did the rounds seem louder...

Thanks for another great hunt Wank. Meat should be back from the processor next week. Hopefully mine is as tasty as your wife's spike.

Thanks for the replies.

New reloader here. Loaded up some dummy 9mm rounds (no primer or powder) just to get my Lee dies adjusted properly. After got on OAL that I liked I loaded about 10 checking for consistency. The OAL varied somewhat from round to round--from about 1.150 to 1.1565. Is this level of variance...

Thank you for the replies.
