    38 super

    Can a 9mm lee factory crimp die be used on 38 super brass? Thanks

      Nope. The sizer ring of the 9mm FCD is smaller to accommodate the 9mm case mouth at .380". The 38 Super has a case mouth of .384". I suppose you could do it but squeezing the bullet that extra .004" will not help accuracy much. There's a reason that Lee makes both. Buy the correct die.

        For Dillon dies, only different one is the sizing die. The powder/seatingand crimp die are interchangeable between 9mm and super. So I would say yes the lee crimp die from 9mm will work on super.
