    Any success reloading 9mm flobert?

    Has anyone had any experience or success reloading 9mm flobert, either shot or ball? I was thinking of a centerfire conversion and using some resized centerfire brass of some sort to make reloading "simpler" but thought I'd ask the CB'ers first to try and save myself some head ache.

    There are sources for factory 9mm Flobert ammo. Unlike, say. .32 rimfire long and .25 Stevens.

    For the .32 we modify .32 S&W Long brass to make an adapter that uses either powder-actuated-tool blanks, or as I prefer, .22 "acorn" blanks as a primer. This won't be as easy for the 9mm because the offset of the pocket for the blank doesn't clean up the existing primer pocket in, say, .357 Max brass. You'd have to solder in a filler before machining the offset pocket, or you'd have to make your adapters from solid.

    I've done more difficult conversions, so don't give up hope.
