Borrow a 9mm resizing die off of someone and try this brass in it. I'm wondering if you got a 9x18 sizing die that is marked 9x19.
As short as a lot of brass is now a days from what it is supposed to be, I can see some of the 9x19 actually going into a 9x18 die.
I have some 9mm brass that is as short as .730". Either way something has to be wrong with your sizing die.
I resize thousands and thousands of 9mm brass of all mfgs and have never heard of what you are experiencing.
I use .FC. brass constantly and have never had an issue with it.
Borrow someone else's resizing die and try these same brass in it. I'll bet you won't have the problem in it.
If they still won't resize in another die then something has happened to the brass, like someone blew out the base of the case from overloading them.
It could be the brass is damaged beyond resizing also.
But trying them in another die will tell you volumes.
