nsf003, please do not take offense to what I am about to say, but it sounds like you have little experience with reloading. If you have not already purchased and read at least one reloading manual, I suggest you do so immediately. The 9mm can be very finiky and dangerous to reload. OAL (cartridge OverAll Length) is critical in the 9mm since it operates at high pressure. Seating bullets too deeply will result in excessive pressure and can lead to damage to or destruction of the gun and injury to the shooter and by-standers.
