    9mm primer seating, opinion?

    Due to the quality of the case, one far left did not seat completely and protruded.

    Rest of them seems to be bit broken.

    What do you say? Just trash them?

      Are you reloading aluminum cases?

        Yeh.... that's what I thought.

        Never reloaded pistol rounds before and never any sorts like these happened before. I was curious what others would do.

        Thanks for your time.

          9mm "Brass" is virtually free... At least at my range.

            I know. I could have picked up 9mm spent cases if I wanted to. But, I really didn't want to prep 5K spent cases. So I just decided to buy prepped brasses. They came flared so all I had to do was prime them, charge them, and seat them.

              I'm not sure what you mean by prep but cleaning and sizing gives me a chance to handle and weed out bad or cases I don't want to load. If you have a full set of dies I don't see the extra time being an issue.

              Are you inspecting as you go because I've made my share of mistakes but I do look at every primer to make sure they are seated and how you got so many fails without noticing a problem is below my level of QC.

                I've been only reloading for precision rifles. I only have single stage press. I really did not want to go through clean, decap, size, and flaring 5K cases one by one.

                Those are the bad cases I sorted out by inspecting the primers after every seating.

                  Gotcha.

                  For range/practice ammo I have used a Lee Turret press for many thousands of 9mm. Much faster than a single stage and inexpensive, takes standard dies, not sure of the availability right now though.

                    I would try to fully seat that one high primer. The others I would deprime and save the brass. Wear glasses & goggles to be safe.

                      That has nothing to do with the quality of the case & everything to do with your reloading process. No matter how bad a case is, it won’t make you load primers sideways. That’s user error.

                        I would toss them all.

                            The one on the left looks like a chunk is missing from hard extraction?

                              Also is that aluminum or nickel plated.
