    It's not risking anything other than a stoppage. I have one sitting on my counter at home. It's just a little bulged and won't go fully into battery. AND the shelf brass easy to spot during normal brass prep and loading... you may not have any.

    As far as crimped 9mm brass, I toss that in the recycle bucket if I catch it. Not worth the effort like 5.56 is.

    Okay, thanks.

    I've got 1k mixed fired cases and 1k bullets. Once I put them together I dont plan to load / reload 9x19 anymore.

    I know with a brief inspection I saw crimps and CBC in there. S&B, too.

    What do you mean? I have seen 2 damaged guns because of them. One was repairable, one was total loss.

    Because of what? A 147 gr loaded into "shelf" brass?

    Yes shelve brass.

    Don't remember if they were 147 or not.

    Some shelves are thicker then others, some are taller then others

    I guess so. I have my round on my counter at home. I can get a pic of it if anyone would like to see the issue.

    There is way too much good 9mm brass out there to worry about using stepped brass. I didn't know about them when I started 9mm loading and loaded up a bunch of different brands. Now I have junk ammo to blast through as some brass is tighter and not as suited for plated and lead bullets. I now sort brass by headstamp and the harder euro stuff and stepped brass go in the junk pile. The press runs so much better when the brass matches.

    I’d think loading a 147 in brass with internal shelf would bulge case so badly it wouldn’t chamber.
    But I’m not desperate enough to load one to prove a point.
    A true "Gun Guy" (or gal) should have familiarity and a modicum of proficiency with most all firearms platforms.
