Trimming

[bogey1]

adjust it to the ever so slightest taper crimp.

Thats what I do. Its just to "snug" the bullet so they dont get depressed when handling.

This is not Rocket Surgery for a 9mm

A. If the loaded round chambers OK - you're done
2, if you have a problem look into snugging down the crimp a skosh.
Finally, there is a thing called a FCD factory Crimp Die. I had to get one for my .45ACP rounds to get them into my 1911s. All the other .45 guns loaded and shot the rounds just fine, but not the 1911s. dunno if such a thing is avail for 9mm. I never needed one.
c. have fun with it.

Oh yeah if somebody starts spouting trimming for accuracy in a 9mm, you know you've got a gun counter commando talking trash.

I think it was in one of the reloading annual magazines that appear on the newsstand in winter I was reading recently where one of the authors was loading 9mm and was trimming to exact lengths and weighing the brass.

If the author is an World class Olympic shooter with a highly specialized (and extremely expensive) pistol he can see the difference. But if you can't shoot under an inch at 25 yards (with any pistol) its a non issue.
