A friend of mine just bought a very nice Russian Makarov. I read that 9x19 brass could be expanded and trimmed for 9x18 Makarov use. Has anyone had any success in doing so?

And an even bigger pain in the butt when you get the trimmed 9mm brass mixed in with your real 9mm brass!Yes, but it's a pain in the butt.
The 9x19mm Parabelum, doesn't need 2 b xpanded, only trimmd 2 the length of the 9x18mm
Makarov,preimd,then loaded,es hav a bullet seated. The deis will take care of the slight
xpansion if any, es they werk vy well. I'v loaded over 1K of them,es they r no problem in
chambering either.Make sure U don't lose any wen ur @ the range,then u'll anly hav 2 de-
preim,drop a powder charge,es seat a new bullet.4 best results as self defense rd.,use lrn.

little off the topic but does anyone know of a source of cast slugs for the Mak 9X18?
Whoever did it ought to be tarred and feathered with old Russian powder!
