Isn’t it going to have some leading issues if shooting lead and not shoot very accurate using 9mm in a .357” barrel ? I must be missing something , educate me .
 
I reload, so ammo costs are minuscule compared to retail.
(as long as my primer stock holds out - but that's another story)

Just contact them via email
But the idea of a convertible is to shoot cheaper commercial ammo, at a time when 9mm was cheap enough not to bother reloading. Differences in reloading costs of one cartridge or another for the same gun are probably not significant. Other than comparative cost of commerical ammo, I know of no real advantage to shooting semiauto ammo in a revolver.

You know we're only talking .002" (maybe)
depends on the measurement of the barrel & chambers.

With the right load, the 9mm can be very accurate.
If there's too much leading you can use jacketed bullets.

You know that we usually go with a lead bullet that is .001 larger than the barrel diameter to reduce leading and for accuracy .

Well, if you're shooting with folks that are shooting "bottom feeders" and you happen to run out of ammo, they may be nice enough to lend you some lol!! As far as loading rounds for use in a revolver, you can load "hotter" for the revolver without damage to it or changing parts in an auto. My point being, the revolver isn't as picky or dependant on certain ammo for arm operation.
