38SC bullets in a 9mm Gun

[pjb45]

I have about 2000 Zero 38SC (.356?).

I no longer shoot Open.

I was wondering if anyone has tried using 38SC bullets in a 9mm barrel?

Thanks

I shoot the Zero 121gr (.356) in my open gun (38SC .355 barrel) and the Winchester 130gr (.356) in my M&P 9 Pro (way more accurate than the factory 124's and 115's).

No problems in either gun, you may have to reduce your powder charge.

The Zero # 161 125gr .356" and the Hornady HAP 125 (also.356") are the most accurate (under 1" @ 25yds. 5 shot groups) bullets out of both of my glock 9's and my XD 9 Tactical at minor velocity.

I use a LSWC 130gr .358 bullet in my 9mm.

.356 Has better accuracy than .355 in 9mm and long time ago i asked will Schuemann if it is ok to use .356 on 9mm he said he even use .357 on his

Do you know the reduction amount? I know it depends on the powder, but in general, would the reduction be a little or a significant amount? Does anybody know the increased in velocity from the .355 to the .356 using the same load?

I had the info a while ago but it's gone. IIRC, it was enough of a difference between making major (~169 using .356 Zero 121) and not making major (~163 using .355 MG 121).
