PistolPete Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 Just curious if I can use my .38 super dies to load 9mm. I'm guessing that I can't but figured I would ask first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassochist Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 (edited) nope, bin there done that. .38super has straight case while a 9mm has a tapered case Edited September 17, 2011 by bassochist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PistolPete Posted September 17, 2011 Author Share Posted September 17, 2011 Thanks, that's what I figured. If I'm no longer shooting .38 super and loading on a 650 can I just swap the 9mm dies over and call it a day or will I need other parts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canuck223 Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 You'll need to adjust your seating die and powder die, but all you really need to buy is the 9mm sizing die. The rest of your tooling should be good to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rest of your tooling should be good to go. you might need the 9mm crimp die also since the 9mm's case mouth and chamber dimensions at the mouth are slightly smaller then the 38 Super. depends on die and chamber tolerances.

PistolPete Posted September 18, 2011 Author Share Posted September 18, 2011 I just ended up ordering the entire 9mm 3 die set so I'll be good to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
