Have been reloading some .223 and 38 special on a Hornady Lock n Load for a few weeks now and getting ready to start reloading 9mm Luger and 380 ACP. I was wondering if I might be able to save some money by mixing and matching dies that would do both of those calibers. For instance i have seen dies advertised that would seat both .380 and 9mm. Would I be better off just buying a die set for each caliber or would it be beneficial to do some mix and matching? If so what dies will do tasks for both calibers?
