9mm Bulge Busting.. still revelant?

[Richard Jones]

If you use a Lee Factory Crimp die it will cycle through your reloader and your gun. Make sure your ducks are in a row before using a Lee Factory Crimp die because it will squish everything to where it should be and that's not always a good idea.

Are you saying it acts like a 'U' die and sizes the 'bulge' area? I know some guys used to run a std. or 'U' die at #1 position (progressive) and an FCD at the crimp station, but never heard of it reducing the 'bulge' area. So when stuff gets 'squished', something has to go somewhere.

I haven't loaded for the Makarov, but, have a tight 9x19mm chamber on a Hi-Powe and use the attached Lee 9mm die for sizing. Check it out, it may work for you. Amazon link below;

A couple of other notes to add to the discussion. I have no experience with roll sizing and any specifics that go with it. I could see how it would help but not be a complete/full resize of 9x9mm brass as this cartridge is tapered, not parallel unless the machine does a tapered role. Just FYI, the EGW undersize die is made by Lee...

Just .02 more to ponder.
