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.

Thanks! I thought it was larger.

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.
