38/357 bullets in 9 mill pistol??

[vince]

Pretty sure this will work but not a 100%? could I load my 9 mill shells with bullets from my 357? I know I can shoot 9 mill in my 357 not not sure if I can the opposite? Has anyone done it?

Cast bullets? or Jacketed?

Jacketed!

I have a pet load for my Glock 17: Berry's 158 grain plated 38 cal bullets over 2.8 grains of VV N320.

i've done it with 155/158 gr bullets for my glock, but there was more then once it failed to feed.

You might run into bulged cases that won't chamber.

I ran some Rainier .357 125 grain Plated Hollow Points through a .356 resizing die.

Loaded them over 4.2 grains Universal into 9mm cases to the maximum allowable length. Chambered reliably and shot accurately in a Ruger P89 and Glock 17RTF.

Sure you can. I had a 686 S & W with a .356 bore, and a Llama in 9mm with a .360 bore. I still have my Luger Artillery and that has a .360 bore.

Determining factor is wether or not the loaded rounds will chamber in your barrel--some makes of brass are thicker or have a different taper inside the case which can cause problems. Just about every 9mm I have loaded for shot better with .357 cast bullets.

I never used jacketed .357 on a regular basis but have shsot some--125 gr jhp worked quite well in a Browning I had at the time.

ymmv, 44Bore.
