Okay, loading 9mm nickel cases with bullseye. Dillon 550B press
1). Case deprimes and resizes fine.
2). case gauges perfectly
3). Powder loads fine.
4). Bullet is pressed into case, no problem.
5). Crimp crimps fine.
Net result, 1 finished ammo in 3 will not go back in the case gauge. it seems to fail near the head.
Again, at step 2, after resizing and depriving (and priming for that matter) the case is gauged and passes!
Any guess on why its failing at end? I've tryed resetting the dies. It does not help.
It only happens with the nickel cases.
