Reloading die question.

[Chuck 100 yd]

I have seen (somewhere) a die that you push the case clear through to resize straight rimless pistol cartridges full length.

Anyone know who makes them??

Thanks!

Two different ones are available. I have not used either so cannot comment on how they work.

The lee says for all except the 9mm and the redding is advertised for the 40 sw only. The lee needs to be used in combination with the factory crimp die for the caliber.

Thanks for the reply's guys, I talked to a very knowledgeable member at the club today and he told me about the same thing, that the system is for straight sided cases and that the 9mm has a slight taper to it.

I have been reloading rifle,pistol and shotgun ammo since the early 60`s but never the 9mm. You learn something every day! :wink:

These dies are particularly intended for 40 S&W cases fired in Glocks or other guns without fully suported chambers. The cases develop a bulge near the head on firing and normal sizing dies don't iron it all out.

I just ran into that problem last spring with 40 S&W range brass that would not chamber fully in my SpringField XDM. I purchased a EGM chamber checker from Dillon and sorted the brass,which I'll use in my Glock 40 S&W for now. I plan to get a Lee Die later.
