.357 in a 9mm?

[MarikinaMan]

I did the same thing. I found a load for it, but I just sold it rather that testing and developing the load. YMMV.

Jacketed or lead?


OP, I wouldn't do it, JMO.

My gunsmith slugged it. He's the guy that developed the 8-shot revo, so I trust him.

Just sell them, or barter for the right size in the reloading sale forum?

I have been shooting .357 and .358 in all of my 9s. Brazos .357 124 gr Hitek RN and .358 Blue Bullet 124 Hitek RN. Several thousand rounds down range with great results.

Interesting....

I thought I bought .356 hollow points to reload for my 9mm. Instead they are .357. [1]... Can I still do this? [2]... Might there be damage to the 9mm

[1]... Yes, you can.

Plunk test to assure they will function.

[2]... Super Highly Unlikely, as history has shown. One thousandth of one inch is inconsequential in this instance.

It only takes minimal force to shove a jacketed bullet through a sizing die that is .001" smaller dia.

Same force it takes to shove it [one bullet length] into a pistol barrel.

SAAMI pressure spec is 35,000 psi for 9mm parabellum cartrige.

As with all reloading safety procedures. START LOW-WORK UP SLOW.
