So I have a small question....
My brother recently bought some .380 bullets to shoot in his 9mm. He figured that since they both are .355-.356, There should be no real problem in using them as long as you stick to the manual of course.
My only question is, Following the manuals information for a .380 bullet in a 9mm case should be O.K? He will be using start loads and making sure they chamber and such.
There will be two 9mm that would be shooting these bullet.
The first gun would be a S&W 6906 and the second gun would be a CZ-Phantom.
Is there anything I am not noting here? I have the Lyman's 49th, Hornady's 8th and the Lee second edition. If I go by the data with Lee and the data on the Hornady's book, They both have similar OAL but the charges are quite different.
So let use some quick notes.
Bullet - 100 GR RN .380 These are Plated bullets. The loads will be starting.
Shell - 9mm
Gun 1 CZ Phantom
Gun 2 - S&W 6906
OAL difference in both books is 0.005
Charges - Vary quite a bit...
My only curiosity is if it is OK to use these bullets in these guns and Im kinda wondering If I would end up with a stuck bullet here...
Any info or tips would be great!
And yes, I did do a search and found some information but it was the other way around so I had to ask for myself...
