I currently reload 9mm and my father just bought a .380. He asked if I could reload the .380's with my 9mm die's for target practice. At first my answer was no.
But the other night I was reloading and when I pressed the projectile in the case it barely seated. When I looked at it I realized it was a .380 not a 9mm.
I have found a .380 mixed in before but it never made it that far into the process before. Got me thinking. Why not? Lets say you asjusted the die to seat the smaller projectile properly would it work?
If not do I need a whole new set or just the size/deprimeing die?
Not that I think adjusting the dies every time I want to switch caliber would be worth saving the $40, more just curious if it could be done. Plus I'll take any chance I can get for my father to buy a tool for my reloading kit.
