    9mm luger case length

    Both my lyman 49th and my lee loadbooks say the case length should be .75, but all of mine come in shorter, at .70. Nowhere that I could read did either book say a minimun length, just that the case length needs to be .75. Would .70 be ok?

    I see Grafs has 12k of these for $284.00. This seems very cheap. Are these federal? Are they any good? Can I use my Lee Ergo hand primer to install them? thx

Yes, I cannot produce hundreds...

Its as if the pin is set to...
