    Lee Turret Press 9mm loads wont eject?

    I just got my Lee Turret Press. I loaded two 9mm with 7g of Winchester pistol powder and 115g bullet. The FMJ bullets measured 1.20in and It fit the magazine and ejected by hand great, but when shot it didn't eject. The bullet didn't even try to eject. Normally It would be FTE. The slide partially opened with case stuck on the way out. This one didn't even rack the slide back a bit.

    What could I do to fix this issue?

    The Test mule gun is a 9mm with 1500 rounds and since day one none have ever failed to extract.

    Your all over the road on this one. Lets start simple. What and where is your recipe coming from? What is your "actual" Winchester powder you are using? Per the Hodgdon website there are no loads listed with 7 grains of any Winchester powder.(7gr. not 7g) the max I see is 5.7gr. After resizing did you run the case through a case length gauge? That will tell you if the case was sized right. Then did you trim the cases to a specified length? Chamfer and debur? Go back and look at your recipe and your loading method. Triple check your double check. I think you missed some steps here. Your case may have been oversized, when fired slamed against the chamber and stuck there a bit. The ejector just let go of the rim and you had a stuck case. You may be loading your rounds with too much powder.

    pm me if you have more questions. I am currently loading 9mm right now.

        What kind of scale are you using? Did it go bang like normal or seem under powered?
        Lord, make my hand fast and accurate.
        Let my aim be true and my hand faster
        than those who would seek to destroy me.
        Grant me victory over my foes and those who wish to do harm to me and mine.
        Let not my last thought be 'If I only had my gun."
        And Lord, if today is truly the day you call me home, let me die in an empty pile of brass.
