9mm/120gr VS 358/158gr.

Can the 358/158 gr lswc be loaded for a 9mm Luger, if sized to the correct diameter. I feel its not a good idea. The 358 would be seated deep into the 9mm case. This may raise pressures. Better and safer to buy the correct bullet for the 9mm. A +P 9mm Luger has a working pressure of 38,500 PSI.

Tested today-
9mm Luger in Taurus G3C.
Bullet- 163 gr lswc, Saeco #382, .3568" sized diameter. Length .707"
Loaded COL 1.026" Head to Shoulder .778"

Load data found for HS-6. Start 3.0 grs to 3.7 grs for 160 gr coated bullet. Worked up to 3.7 grs, shot 5 rounds, standing, 2 hands, 7 yards.

Ok with Blazer range brass. Jammed with 1 USA brass that measured .001" to large in the case body. Right at the bullets base.
A known problem with some brass, bullet combinations.

Not a loading i normally would use, just a test
