I gave up on GS bllets after just one outing with them in 45. All I will say is make a dummy round first and see how much further you can press the bullet in with mild finger pressure after you crimp it. The one good thing about your choice of AA7 is that it fills the case far enough that the powder will probably help support the bullet.

With standard bullets in 9mm, I have found that top end loads work the best with this powder.
