Is there any pistol brass for making 9mm?

[Utah Shooter]

I know there are swage dies for this but is there any brass that works for making jacketed a projectile?

[runfiverun]

i think the 32 acp would do it.

I bet BT could do it with 9mm. He sent a few 38's with my dies that were made from 9's

Yes it can be done with 9mms, a better choice may be the 223 rem as far as availbility. Better yet is the 380 auto but hard to find.

Me personaly? I would probably use the cut off top of a 223 rem case as the jacket. Matter of fact with teh new craze with all the 300 ACC blackout (think I got that right, wispers) I bet the cut off top would be enough for a good 9mm jacket.

This is what I have done to make the .357s with. use teh base for a .357 bullet and teh top for a 9mm sounds pretty good. By the way... the 44 cal bulllets I made from cut off brass tops where the most accurate bullet I shot in my 44 AMP. Also had a shooter with one my 145 grain .357 bullets from top of brass case shoot a nice white tail a couple years ago.

There was allso a thread a while back about using copper tubing that looked pretty good. Must have been sized down 3/8" tubbing?

Really isn't an easy sollution to making the 9mms. For most customers I recommend makign 10mm/40 cal instead but for those that want to making 9mm bullets is not a problem, just a couple additional steps.

Good shooting and Swage On.

I've made both .357" and .355" bullets from .32 ACP brass. The biggest problem is finding the brass, since it's not real common.

Hope this helps.

Well I can find .380 brass. I know not as well as 9mm, .40 or .45 but still can get it if I need it.

How would you go about doing it with .380 or 32 acp for that matter.

[Reload3006]

you can draw 9mm and 380 brass down to make into 9mm boolits or your can do what I did and make a set of tubing jacket making dies and use 1/4 type L tubing its 3/8 O.D. round it then anneal and then draw to .350 your set to make a 9mm Boolit.

[Utah Shooter]

So lets say I have a CH set of dies? What other die would I need to use 9mm brass to make projectiles for 9mm? I can get .380 brass but no where near the amount of 9mm brass.

[Reload3006]

you do it like derimming 22lr to make .224 boolits. You may want to totally anneal them first. But run them through a ring die and reduce the od to .350 or so so they will expand back out to .355 and hold the lead.
