    9mm Makarov Factory crimp die

    I hope this is the correct place to ask this question......
    Can this die be used on 9mm Luger as well???

    Quite a difference in size. The 9mm Lugar is about .356" and the 9mm Makarov is about .365". Can't say how that would work for you, maybe someone's tried it.

    It could certainly be used as a Bulge Buster die, as I have been using it successfully for several years.
    The 9mm MAK is simply a 9x19 case where the taper has been removed and the case shortened slightly, so it will remove the bulge from the base of 9x19 and 9x21 cases.
    As a crimp die? Probably not. However, if you have one, try it. If you don't, and you want a crimp die, buy the plain Lee Taper Crimp die for about $12.
