I had some extra time on my hands this morning and spent most of it working on cleaning up brass that I have collected the past couple years. So- while going through my bucket- I decided to take an extra minutes and find a couple hundred pieces of brass that were clean and stuck them in the case gauge- so that is a long answer to say yes. About half of it was bulged and the other half was not. Then I ran some of the bulged through the resizing die and it ended up just fine.
This has been a learn by myself and on the go type of operation- so I didn't mind taking some extra time this morning. Most likely- I am doing WAY to much analysis on loading 9mm

Thanks again for the helpful comments.
Went to the range this morning with my reloads and had three guns that didn’t feed into the barrel of the PX4CC. All three stuck out like the picture I had posted earlier. Not sure if it’s a PX4CC thing or if the same issue would happen in a Glock. At least I’ve narrowed down a tolerance level.

holmes168, what do these bulged cases look like?
I agree with CF that if you need a FC die, you need to fix what's really wrong and not use a FC die.

Beware of my temper, and the dog that I've found...
@Hambo, actually if it’s just a few bulged cases and most of his loads gauge, I think the FC die will fix his issue.

Round 1
Round 2
Round 3
All don’t pass the case gauge and aren’t really that close. I am wondering if Staton 1 on the 650 isn’t set right. Maybe I need to set the die further down in order to resize the round better?

Case gauge of round prior to depriming and reshape in Station 1 of 650.
Here it is after I deprimed and resized.
Wow- I just checked the die for station 1 and it was not even hand tight. Think I could have over time not it out of position?

Is the size/decap die not all the way down to the shellplate???

Mystery solved
Just a simple bit of tightening and eliminating some stupidity. Couldn’t have done it without all you though. Appreciate the comments which made me think through a problem!

@Hambo you were right. FCD can’t solve that problem [emoji3]
