I made a draw die awhile back to turn 9mm cases into .357’s, I didn’t like the small quick tapered lee sizing die. It got me thinking why not make jackets for rifle bullets out of the 9mm cases also. Curiosity got the better of me so I made up a couple of different draw dies to see what would happen.
I don’t swage my own bullets but I don’t see why these jackets made from 9mm cases wouldn’t work for plinking rounds in:
8mm or .323”
303 British or .313”
7.62x39 or .310”
Any 30cal or .308”

I really haven’t put a whole lot of time effort or energy into making these. An arbor press would be the way to go with these.
They use 22lr cases for .223’s I don’t see why a 9mm wouldn’t work for 8mm, 308’s ect. What do you guys think?
