9mm won't fit

[dfrosch]

What bullet are you using? And, what overall length does the manufacturer specify?

the round on the right is the hollow point the left is the regular

What is the diameter of the bullet, who makes it. Nosler has some .357 bullets, but your OAL is to long as mentioned by many others.

Berry's

115

Pull the barrel out of the pistol, if it is a pistol and do the drop test. Best chamber gauge you have. Check the diameter of the bullet also.

 

[dfrosch]

As others have said, it's loaded too long. The part of the bullet that is full diameter is probably catching on the rifling.

What powder and charge weight are you using? The charge for a 115 hollowpoint would be lower than for a 115 round nose.

Pistol bullets are no different than rifle bullets in terms of the metplat plus ogive geometries.
Try loading a PSP into a 308 and keeping the same 2.800 OAL. There's a good chance the sucker won't fit your chamber.
Yours looks to be not seated deep enough, so you're hitting the barrel rifling.

 

[lachoneus]

The 9mm case has a slight taper from base to mouth, and that is why you are seeing a bulge. As others have noted, the bulge is normal and can be seen on all properly loaded 9mm cartridges. It is not preventing your cartridge from chambering.

COL for hollow point should be around 1.08 . That round looks like it is 1.18 to 1.20

 

[Cemetery21]

Like all others said: may even need to be shorter, depending on your chamber.

I've been loading a little while it's been a lot of fun I like doing it but when I loaded my hollow point 9 mm the case bo a little bit and won't fit my gun any suggestionsView attachment 1291862

When you come here and ask for help you should really pay attention to the answers.
SEAT THE BULLET DEEPER!!!!!!!!!! Keep screwing that seating stem down until you get to the length recommended by Berry's. Remember, the 9mm is like my wife; short, stout and packs a helluva punch.

Your checker shows you exactly that. BTW have you tried loading that round into a magazine? It is most likely not going to work at that length. Even if you get the first one in the second is not going.
For years we shot the 40S&W in 1911 Hicaps with bullets seated long. There were two reasons; one was they feed better from 1911 type mags and, two, we stuffed a way lot of powder behind them to make major power factor(***the lead in the barrel was also lengthened). Beside the point really, as I will say one of those long loaded 40S&W rounds wouldn't work with the checker because THE BULLETS WRE LOADED LONGER THAN SAAMI SPEC.

You said in your other post you’re using the Lee Factory Crimp die. There shouldn’t be any bulge to cause an issue unless you’re using it wrong.

Seat the bullet deeper. Probably under 1.110 because of the sharp angle ogive.

Or the bullet isnt seated deep enough and not much bearing surface in the case causing it to start to pinch below the bullet . .

 

[mousegunner]

Won't fit gun? Does the round even fit in the magazine?

 

[Hoser]

If you are loading for a 1911/2011 that OAL is fine.

For most everything else, that is waaaaay too long.

Try 1.130 and see how it works.

Yeah, the round sticking out of the case gauge ammo checker should have been the tip-off

Kinda weird,he started two threads with the same title and subject.

Crickets from the poster.
I'm guessing he seated the bullet properly and it's chambering now?
