fired my first batch of 9mm reloads today

I had the same issue with my first 9mm reloads in my Glock, turned out the crimp was too tight so the round was able to travel too far down the barrel and the striker couldn't get enough of the primer.

Loaded another 100 rounds, reduced crimp and made sure I was more careful seating the primers (closer to flush with the casing) worked great in the xdm except for a couple stove pipes. Will add another tenth of a grain of powder next time. Thanks for the tip!

Glad it helped!

This post (in the thread I made to ask the same question a few months ago, lol) has all the the measurements for 9x19 rounds for reference.
