Reloading 10mm ammo / Re: Bullet seated too deep
November 19 2020 04:33:03 PM MST
Thanks everyone for the advice. My kinetic bullet puller arrived the other day. It literally took 2 min or less to tap out the bullet a little (about 6-8 taps) and reseat to the proper depth. I was amazed at how quick and easy it was. I should have gotten a kinetic bullet puller years ago, but it wasn't until recently I actually needed to use one (probably a lot of luck on my part). Now that I have one, I'll use it if and when this happens again.

It sounds like no one would take a chance shooting it, so I guess I'll pull it out a little. I'll have to get a kinetic puller, sounds like that's the best way. Thanks for your input. Initially I was thinking of trying shooting it instead of pulling it.

Reloading 10mm ammo / Bullet seated too deep
November 08 2020 10:13:23 AM MST
I began working up a load for my 10mm (I have a Glock 20 gen 4, no modifications). I am using Hornady 180gr XTP and Blue Dot powder. I started out using 9.5gr Blue Dot working my way up to 10.4gr. While adjusting the crimp to 0.423 I accidentally had the bullet seater not loose enough. For the very first load, (9.5 gr blue dot), the bullet seated to an overall cartridge length of 1.210 instead of 1.260 (0.05 inches too deep). I have since corrected that and loaded up some cartridges with the correct seating depth.

Is that one bullet that is seated 0.05 inches too deep safe to shoot? It's not near the maximum load of powder. I've never done this before, not sure what to do.
