I recently bought some copper plated 9MM
125 grain rn. To reload with. My ? is that the crimp line is almost Impossile to see, after the plating was put on. Any ideas on getting the correct depth! |

Nominal OAL should be around 1.15 inches. But you should verify that length in the bullet manufactures manual.

There is rarely, if ever, a "crimp line" on bullets meant to be taper crimped. You should use a caliper to adjust and occassionally check your OAL. And that length should be based on the mfg.'s data as Joe stated.
