Questionor the reloader's/experimentors out there.

I didn't want to thread drift revolver45's post titled "9mm in a 38 Super" so here's my question.

 

Anyone ever try to roll size 9mm down with a set of .357 dies ??

I think this would be a way to use the short brass folks want for the speedy reload and the better 9mm moon clips.

Brass would be plentiful, not cost a bunch, and probably last forever. Folks already use all sorts of bullet sizes in 929's.

Being Revo shooters we get all our brass back so it wouldn't be too much of a time loss.

 

So what do the Revo folks think ?

 

Personally I like the robustness and thicker clips of the 9mm, but like the longer brass of the 38 Super, I never have been

able to get a good reload with the shorter 9mm brass.

I tried, but it was easier to just use .38 Short Colt. Which is more or less a 9mm case with a rim.

 

I measured the internal capacity, and they were basically the same.

I load my 9mm 929 to 1.19(RN) which isn't too much different than the 1.225 (jhp) I load for super comp.

Yep, I'm at 1.19 also. For both .38 Short Colt and 9mm in my revo's.
