Reloading 9mm bullets with lube groove?
Any issues? I’m trying some Bayou 124gr bullets and I like them as they load a bit longer and still fit the CZ and Glock Gen5 barrels. 1.125 or so vs 1.10”.

There is no issue and I’ve loaded lots at that length but I feel better at a bit longer for tolerance. It’s just my preference. No concerns. The case mount is taper crimped on the upper ridge so that’s fine.

Just double checking.

Yes, the small diameter nose with step up to the bearing surface lets you do that.
I am loading that bullet or the similar Brazos to 1.142" with plunk in all guns.

They once sent me some of the 124 without groove or step, they were blunter and had to be seated shorter.
