Many thanks to both Rick and Johhny for posting so promptly ....
I checked and reset the dies (mounted in a Lee Turrent which is the press I use for all my pistol cal and .233) resized, "re-belled" and, I think this was the problem, reduced the crimp to virtually nil* and achieved .380" dia (and slightly below - down to .377") at the mouth with very little distortion showing on the case walls with OAL of 1.169" with a 125gr RNL. (*The Vectan Manual states No Crimp?)
So I hope to have 9 x 19 cracked.... but will let you know as I going to the range Sunday and carry out some (careful) testing... intially with a Lahti M35 before using the P '08.
Again, many thanks for the good advice.
