One caution to note if you don't sort your brass. Federal "FC" 9mm brass is quite thin. Using a standard sizer and expander can leave you with inadequate case tension when loading many .355" bullets, leaving you open to possible set-back of the bullet. A warm load and enough bullet set-back can easily blow a case.Case tension is critical in 9mm and taper crimping is almost useless as a substitute for good case tension.

If you decide not to sort, I recommend an undersize sizing die. Use it on all the brass.
