9mm line on bullet

good. because the rounds in the pic don't look like they are crimped properly.

Looks like you're using plated bullets. It's common and shouldnt affect the performance.

Looking this over. This is. Hornady question. Call hornady. I vaguely recall this in my early reloading days.

I believe there is too much crimp. Be cause you seat and crimp in oe move. U need to get your length right first and the start to crimp.

You might have adjuated the crimp (a bit tight) and then adjusted your COAL.

You can verify this by pulling the bullet and look at it. The 9mm is tapered and shouldnt cut into the bullet. If u cut into it...u crimp it too much.

Dump the steel series and buy a used hornady carbide or lee.

Pm me if u have questions

So first I adjusted for OAL. Then I backed of the adjustment for seating depth and applied the crimp. Once I did that I screwed the adjustment for seating depth back down to the top of the bullet which I already had at the right OAL. Then the rest of the bullets I seated and crimped at the same time. Is this not the proper way to do it? Like I said I'm new to pistol cartridges. Thanks for all the feed back

If you seat and crimp in one operation, this can happen with plated bullets due to how soft they are. Seat and crimp separately, use jacketed bullets or have a ring.
