.380 brass from 9mm?
can i trim 9mm brass down and size it as .380? there is still no .380 ammo available within 100 miles from here.
i have bullets, primers etc. It would be worth it to just buy dies and start making my own! just bought an LCP at a gun show today, then couldn't get ammo.

answered my own question after looking up case dimensions. the case head is to big, as is the body.

The "head" of .380 is smaller.
I use sorting trays to sort out .380 out of 9mm. Doug |
