Guys, do you think 9mm Browning Long (9x20mmSR) will work in a .38 Super (9x23mmSR) pistol?

RTFM when setting up a square deal for new calibre.

So I changed from .45 colt to .44/40 and used the dies and pins supplied by the guy I bought the press from. It seems that he had been tidy and placed the #1 pins in the .44/40 container, and I swapped the #4 locator pins out. Found the press quite jammy and not fluid at all, brass not lining up (with result seen in photo). Got sick of fighting the jammed cases and took locator pins out. All started to improve. Read the Dillon calibre change chart- should be #4. Swapped them in and smooth sailing for next 180 rounds. Time for a drink.

I have a brilliant business proposition.

I want to start a gambling rehabilitation business. Rehab will involve long hours of brass prep since the motion of a press is very similar to a slot machine. Rehab patients will pay $200 a day and at the end of the day they will win the "$200 jackpot".

What's in it for them? Free rehabilitation and they will no longer lose their hard earned money to casinos.

What's in it for us? Free brass prep labor of course.

Who would like to join me on this business venture?

Crimped my case with a vise

My resizing tool did not work so the projectile was loose in the case. I inserted it anyways and just crimped around it with a table vise and the bullet is stuck now. The brass got minor deformations but do you lads think it would still shoot?

Its only one improvised cartridge and im just curious to know if it still would work.

Can't polish a turd...

I spent 2 months trying to get these 184 Bergers to shoot sub 3 moa in my new 280AI build. Total waste of time and components. Switched to the 180gr lapuas and the first batch with no load development work at all came in at 1.05 moa. First batches of Sierras, Barnes, and Hornady all come in at <1.5 moa.

Let this be a lesson to the rest of you: if it shoots like crap, it shoots like crap. You can't tweak your way out of 4 moa.

vs Lapua 180gr scenar-L

Vs factory ammo

Alternative way to trim cases

That’s it. A trimmer in my country can cost like 2 grand.

Is there any way more “creative” to do it?

Should I call this round uncircumcised 9mm, or 9mm turkey neck?

Powder die backed out and wasn’t putting enough bell on my cases which was scraping the jacket when seating.

Anyone tried these square primers?

I know they pack in the box better but I’m just not sure how well they work.

One of these is not like the others

One of my 220gr makers ended up being a 204.5gr. Paul from maker said it happens every now and then. I’ve got a replacement coming

Third time making hot glue slugs. They still look like garbage, but at least I'm quicker at making them!

Was intimidated by rifle reloading but all went well

Was super surprised everything went exactly as planned easy, and wow the twice fired brass is significantly harder to form w my Redding small base die. This out of a 16 inch Psa barrel at 50 yards cuz didn’t feel like driving to my car range other day but .43 should be under an 1inch at 100 I’m hoping. This sub gave me confidence to get started even tho I have no one around me w experience really
