I've done hours of reading on 9 mm leading problems and I'm convinced I need a different flare due to swaging. I'm loading on a Dillon 550, with Dillon dies and powder measure. I know about the m die and the Lee 38 s&w mods but I'd like to keep it fully progressive. So who offers the powder funnel for 357-358 bullets for 9 mm

Here is one place to get custom powder funnels for dillon powder drop.

geoffswanson1@gmail.com G.S. Custom

I shortened a 550 powder die and used the D-funnel to stop the boolits from swaging.

I placed an order with GS Custom March 30th for 3 custom powder funnels. Still have not recieved them and have not heard anything from him. Hopefully, I will get them soon.

I ordered one on 4-8-15 and received it in about 5 days. Only problem it is .002" smaller than what I ordered, still waiting to hear from him.

You could try just use the 357/38 funnel to load 9mm. You could also take a 40 funnel to a machinist & have him make it like an M die, have him step it anyway you like.

Well, I emailed him and will see if he responds. If he doesn't in a few days, I will just have to file a claim in paypal for goods not received.

From what I understand u still have to machine the bottom of the die To use the 357 funnel

Yes, to use the Dillon D-funnel you have to machine the bottom of the die for 9mm, makes a close fit but has worked for me.

I got a reply from him this morning. He said my order would ship tomorrow. I hope he gets the sizes I specified correct.

G.S. Custom is sending me a funnel of the size I ordered and a return label for the other one.

Sounds like pretty good customer service.

I received my order from GS Custom today all three are the corect size. He should have sent an email with an update that he was going to be out of his shop for a week or so for medical reasons and I would not have said anything. No communications gets me wondering. I've dealt with other companies who decide not to communicate and forget to send you what you paid for.
