[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 4053839, member: 15054"] Got some 9 mm loaded but not without some hassle. I was having issues with the turret press and consistent OAL. I switched to my single stage and same thing. My notes stated last loads for 9 were on single stage press. I pulled the seating stem and placed it on one of the 124 gr XTP bullets and it looked as if it was not contacting the ogive. I colored the xtp with a magic marked and placed the seating stem on the bullet and spun it to leave a wear mark. It was contacting at the very top edges where the bullet is split for expansion. Got the drill press a job. Fixed it and now contacting 1/2 way down the ogive. Much better and I get consistent seating depths now with either press. I did notice again like always mixed head stamp have different seating pressures and different forces to size the cases. So then I began sorting by head stamp. Few hours later I have 75 loaded [ATTACH type="full"]384418[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
