I have some once fired mixed brass all cleaned up and ready to go for 9mm Luger. I noticed that when I put it into my Lyman bullet checker, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. When it doesn't, just a little bit of the top is sticking up. I've tried it both as an empty case or after loading it with a bullet and it's same result.
I've tried to research this, and come across different answers. Some say that there is bulge and "just throw them away". Problem is, that it's not really that visible with the naked eye and I don't want to get a magnifying glass and sit there for days going through the brass. I'd rather just find a process that could repair this problem.
The only thing I have heard of so far are two things (1) Lee Bulge Buster, and (2) Roll sizing. Roll sizing machines are very costly and I don't want to go that route, some are a few grand. I purchases a bulge buster using a 9mm Mak die and the setup has no adaptation to a 5 stage hornady press.
At this point, I think I'm going back to the drawing board to figure out if anyone know of an easy way to stomp through thousands of cases in a manner that can reset them to where they will fit in the bullet case.
Thanks in advance for your ideas!
