Reloading 9mm is new to me, as I thought it was foolish to reload ammo I could buy live for $25/1000 more than rolling my own. Fast forward to 2020-2021...
I am well versed in Lee dies and own a few sets of RCBS. During the current great reloading shortage, I bartered into a brand new set of Hornady 9mm dies. I have not even been able to successfully decap and resize brass without 75-80% of Blazer brass not dropping the primers. This only happens with Blazer Brass and is driving me insane. Nothing about it makes sense. I'm not a reloading expert, but it sure as hell seems that the primers Blazer uses get sucked back into the brass on the press' upstroke.
What am I missing here???
