While loading up some 9mm on my 650, I noticed that the lock ring on my seating die had become loose, and the bullets were being seated about .010" deeper than normal.
Here's my recipe:
9mm
X-treme 147gr RN plated
Titegroup, 3.1gr (~128 PF)
WSP
1.150-1.160" OAL
The affected rounds have OAL from 1.140-1.150".
Should I be worried about shooting these rounds? Is a .010" OAL reduction enough to cause concerns with overpressure, etc.? I'm hoping they'll be fine, considering this is a bunny fart IDPA load that's nowhere close to max.
I made a few hundred rounds before noticing the die was loose, so I'd obviously prefer not to have to pull them, but I will if I have to.
