So I was reloading my M&P 40 Pro with some 135 gr Nosler HP and noticed even after the taper crimp, the bullets would still recess? I checked my measurements again and was dead on at 1.085, as called for in the reloading manual. My question is, has anyone else had this issue? I don't typically shoot 135's out of the 40, but was looking for a lighter load for some comps and got a good deal on these. Typically I shoot 165's, so if this can't be fixed I'll cut my losses and press on. Thanks all.
