[QUOTE="HMFIC, post: 1671229, member: 7539"] 9mm Luger and Parabellum are two names for the same thing. Shouldn't be any worries there. What kind of brass is it? Norinco? Does it have a triangle opposite the PARA? If so, there are reports of it being soft and possibly ending up oversized near the head like that. The real issue is that you aren't able to get it to size back down. You likely won't be able to post size very well with that boolit, but on the case sizing, make sure that you're pressing the ram up as far as it can go to the mouth of the die. Screw the die in just as far as it will go touching the shell holder. If you have a die with a slight widing at the mouth combined with a shell holder that is sloppy and doesn't allow it to press up as far as possible, it could be causing you not to get fully sized all the way down. Anyway, if it's just certain brass, then I'd likely just toss those and use what works. There are too many horror stories about AMERC brass and other crappy ones that just make life too difficult.
