    9mm crimp

    Cycling 9mm several times to check oal and noticed that some will shorten by as much as .02 after 3 cycles.
    Cause for concern or should I crimp a little more?

    Does it show any set back after the first cycle? That is all it will when it is fired.

    If it were me, I would add a little more crimp.

    I agree, if it has setback after the first cycle, add a little more crimp.
