I just watched the video. I've been shooting Mak's since 1990 or so (before Starline was producing 9x18, I think) and I guess I've been doing it wrong all of these years.

Sure is a lot quicker than in the video though.

For what it's worth I've been using the 9mm pilot on unsized brass and using fired Mak brass as a length guide. I've sucessfully shot a lot of them but feel a bit guilty leaving the cut down brass with Luger markings on the ground to confuse others.
