Hello all,
I need some technical help: to reload/handload 9mm Browning Long, do I have to order custom dies from Lee or RCBS, or can I make good ammo using .38 ACP/Super dies or something else? Lee & RCBS both say I have to get custom dies, but various internet threads indicate that people have found some combination of 9mmP, .38 S&W, and .38 ACP/Super dies & parts that supposedly do a good job.
In my continuing love affair with obsolete guns and calibers, I have gotten my hands on a Husqvarna Model 1907 Swedish Army surplus handgun, with both .380 and 9mm Browning Long barrels. The recoil spring it came with is tuned to run fine with .380, and a milsurp spring I installed runs beautifully with 9mm Long ammo. (I got my hands on some modern-era Norma FMJ and some 1941 milsurp FMJ). I already load .380 and 9mmP, but *really* want to load 9mm Browning Long for this gun.
Those who have read my ramblings about handloading the .38 S&W won't be surprised & won't ask "why?", I'm sure
Anyone with experience who can steer me on this one? Thanks!
