[QUOTE="Robert871, post: 1852263, member: 10963"] been reloading 223 for a little while and i am thrilled with the results. i am truly making better ammo than i was buying from factory, and i can see it in my groupings and trips to the range, and i get to make more for the money, and tweek the outcomes as i please. so now i am looking at expanding and buying some more dies and components and getting into reloading my pistol calibers. For some reason i seem to have had it in my head that 9mm 38special and 357magnum used the same diameter slugs, the only difference i thought was that they typically stuck hollows or soft points in the 357mags as far as factory loads go. so i figured i would be able to buy one supply of bullets and load up all three cartridges, like with a 124grain fmj. but at first glance on powdervalleyinc.com i notice that they are clearly listing 9mm as .355 and the 357 obviously as .357. so, i am left to assume that i would have to buy a different supply of bullets for the 9mm, but that i could still load the 38 special and 357mag with the same bullet. if this were the case, i would probably just keep buying factory 9mm and simply reload the revolver rounds only. also, i notice that some sites selling the lee carbide 3-4 die sets for 357mag and 38 special seem to differ on description and name of the cardridge they are intended, some say 38special some says 38special 357mag, i again assume the same set works for both cartridges, i was not certain if there was a depth issue and that they might sell a 38speical die set that would not work on the longer magnum cartridge. thanks robert [/QUOTE]
