I had the same case gauge issue with those bullets and had to use a Lee Crimp Die to fully size it down. Much head ache getting it straighten out. I just gave up on the coat bullets and use precision delta fmj.

9mm 147 SNS coated

N320: 3.2gr: 910fps
N320: 3.3gr This is my favorite Glock load, but for some reason I can't find my chrono data for this one.
N320: 3.4gr: 933fps
N320: 3.6gr: 962fps

Case gages only check finished case dimemsions. Depending on the diameter of your bullet the clearance hole for the bullet may not allow oversized bullets to gage properly. My 9mm gage will allow nicely centered .357 bullets in but .358 is a no go. This is something to keep in mind with loading coated.
The first indication a bad guy should have that I'm dangerous is when his
disembodied soul is looking down at his own corpse wondering what happened.
Is n320 worth the 2x cost of say Titegroup?

147 gr SNS bullet
4.0 gr WSF
1.13 OAL
This is the only handload I've ever chrono'ed; if I remember it averaged around 930 fps; the 147 gr HST factory loading was around 980. This was out of a storm lake M&P 40-9 conversion barrel
