    38Super bullets in 9mm Parabellum?

    9mm bullets are like hen's teeth right now but I recently discovered in my garage a boatload of 38Super bullets. From what I've read it's not an issue loading 38S bullets in 9mm cases but thought I'd check with the CG brain-trust and also if anyone has a recipe.

    what is the diameter and weight

    if they were mine i'd probably load them with 3.5 grains of bullseye whatever weight they are

      I load .38 Super, 9mm and .357 bullets interchangeably all the time. No issues.

              Yep, you'll be fine. Ruger's SR9 will easily handle 0.357" bullets. A thousandth isn't going to cause any problems. Three or four thousandths with a max load, maybe....

                OP,

                No worries....I've used K's of .356, .357 and .358 in my 9mm. All were lead and poly coated.
