length of cases and another ?

Maury & Joem,
Guess I'll pick up a hammer puller and toss the A-Merc into the scrap can and go on from there. Thanks.

My experience with A-Merc has not been very good. I mic'd the case walls and they were .0015 thinner than the better grade of cases. I found that the bullets felt loose in the case before seating and crimping. They go directly to the scrap can.

I have some A-Merc .45 ACP brass. It is the only brass I've ever had with primer pocket holes notably off center. I reloaded and it shot ok once. However 9mm can be even a little less forgiving in my view, and thus I can fully endorse Duke tossing the A-Merc brass, one way to avoid potential future problems.

I will probably toss mine too, just Google A-Merc, the forums around the net are filled with problem reports. Here is where it comes from:

Hefights,
Thanks for the link. A-merc is already in the recycle bin.
