    Why 9mm stepped brass

    Why was it even created?

    So it’s a solution to a problem that never really existed?

    For those of us normal folks, it’s not really an issue. But there are a lot of machine guns chambered in 9mm, and bullet setback can be more of an issue there.

    Then what does crimping the bullet do?

    It still helps prevent bullet movement, but an inner step is a lot more definite of a stop.

    I understand your frustration they are quite annoying to reloaders. I scrap any and all stepped brass. Plenty of 9mm brass without the step out there.
