I think I know the answer, BUT am I right, 9x23 is a tapered case, while 38 Super is straight walled case?.I have a friend who has an older gunsmith built 627, custom barrel, etc. It's 9x23 now (yes it is). He shoots 38 Super in his other 1911 style guns. I believe a Clymer 38 Super finish  reamer will do this change?... He would like to get down to one caliber.  Comments please.
