[QUOTE="HMFIC, post: 1671968, member: 7539"] I'm curious about the headstamp too. I used to have some Israeli 9mm UZI ammo that was loaded super hot and like NikatKimber says, if they were hot loads especially shot in a gun with a loose chamber, it could explain the bulge. Still, no matter how the bulge got there, if you can't size them back down then you're not getting a good full length size with your die. The type and manufacturer of die will matter as they are all slighty different and I'm curious as to what kind you're using as well. The only 9mm dies I have are Lee carbide and I've never had an issue with them like this. I'd almost try trimming the case mouth down really low and then press the case into the die with an arbor or something to get it up higher than the case holder would allow, then remove the die and knock it back out from the top by hand with a dowel just to see if the die is even capable of sizing it down to the right size at all if you can get it up in there higher. Either that or break out the calipers and see if you can measure the mouth of the die accurately. It might even have a slight taper at the mouth to aid in press feeding which could be part of the issue. Oh... what kind of press too? I'd probably have thrown the brass out already and moved on, but I'm curious too lol. [/QUOTE]
