[QUOTE="Eric_F, post: 3080303, member: 105437"] [S]Only pistol and you start out with a 10mm, eh? Bold move, I like it. [/S]Edit, misread your post. Disregard. The thing you have to appreciate with pistol reloading is how important OAL is. You listed most of your load details except that, which makes me concerned you didn't pay much attention to that. Lots of 180 JHPs will have different profiles, so you can't just start with a random load. If e.g. that's an XTP and you are using an XTP recipe, sure you can have more confidence. I reload 180 JHPs (a few different kinds) for 10mm, but not with AA9, so I can't speak to that in particular. Usually a crimp is used in pistol laods to remove the bell from the sizing die at least. Lee FCD is hands down the best there, and it's cheap. Basically it sounds like your load is too hot, did you work it up? If not, go do that for your specific bullet and OAL, and consider a light crimp just to remove flare/bell. [/QUOTE]
