[QUOTE="radarmonkey, post: 2040887, member: 8195"] Hopefully someone can tell me what I'm doing wrong. First the facts: Dillon 550B (since I'm a rookie I'm using it like a single stage press) Dillon 9mm carbide dies Hornady 9mm 124gr XTP bullets Hogdon TiteGroup 4.1gr Fiocchi small pistol primers 9mm range brass, tumbled Last night I loaded 50 rds just to get some more practice. When I was done, 6 of the 50 finished rds wouldn't fit into my Lyman case gauge. They are the right length, so seating depth is not the problem, they are too big around. I ran them through the crimping die again and they still don't fit. I'm 99.9% it's 9mm brass, a couple of the 6 failures aren't marked but they measure the same as the other 9mm brass. Also, I am finding brass shavings around the shell plate, I don't know which station it's coming from. Could this be related to my problems?
