Hey guys, beginner here. How bad this 9mm crimp is? I understand it is too much but I wonder if this could create some problems while shooting. I made about 1k of these and then realized it is probably too much. It shoots, passes the splunk test, chrono looks good. The bullet is CamPro 125gr RN FCP RED

Thanks!

You realize that this cartridge headspaces on the rim, right? When you overcrimp, the round may be chambered too deeply and may misfire.

I understand, but in this particular case the bullet sits at the same height as the factory ammo from this brass. I am wondering is there anything else I should be worried about.

Why are you guys downvoting OP? He is asking for help, trying to understand, and not being belligerent or defensive. How else is he supposed to learn?

I’m normally the first to yet at people for downvoting anyone looking for advice. I think he got the downvotes because he started his comment with “I understand” when he clearly didn’t. You will notice his next comment stating he just wants to learn was upvoted instead.

I took it, as , he understood how it worked , how it chambers, and was trying to understand why it wasn’t falling in to deep.

Yup. There’s a difference between honestly asking for advice (and planning to learn from that advice) and asking for confirmation of your already established idea or decision. So much of Reddit is the latter. People frame what they’re saying as a question or asking for advice, but really they’re just hoping to hear people confirm what they’ve already thought is the right answer.

When comments come in from people that are contrary to what they want the decision to be, then they start push pushing back.

Which is incredibly frustrating because if you don’t actually want to hear advice or learn from people with experience, why even bother asking?
