You can easily load a 115 gr. 9mm Luger bullet in a .380 and it works fine. The old Lyman manual even lists loads for the 124 gr. Heck it's basically a rimless .38 S&W.

Yes...Yes they have. I have seen many such things posted.

For that price, I'd sell off my T/Cs.

I have a small collection of little LEE kits and I love them

I actually still use them to my great delight. They produce fantastic quality and accurate ammunition. A box of 50 rounds in 40-45 minutes if you are not distracted. Dick Lee really was a smart fellow.

I DO have a 8x57 kit and if I can fetch that much for it I'll make it a distant memory. Back in the day I'd get the odd kit for some obscure old military caliber for half what a box of Norma ammo cost. Just so a buddy could use a surplus Mauser to deer hunt one season. I used to buy used kits for $5. Many people I have introduced to loading .38/.357 with a little gift kit in an old .30 Cal. ammo can. Providing powder, bullets, primers, a little plastic or brass hammer, and the little LEE kit. You are in business!

I actually have my eye on an old .38/40 kit for nostalgia sake.

I started with them. and the most accurate

25.06 and .358 win are those resized in my Lee loader
I have/ had a .38/.357, 41 mag, 30.06 ,25.06, .358win. I still use the plastic dippers all the time.

They basically neck size only except for really oversize

I found that if you beat the case a little deeper into the tool, just past flush, you can set the shoulder back a touch for easier chambering in TC's etc. It's not very scientific but the human eye is an amazing gauge.

I think I have 7.35 Argentine Mauser, .300 H&H, 8X57, 6mm Rem., .35 Rem., and not sure what else. I gave away my last .38/.357 to a friend.

They are still cataloged, MSRP $40 but all out of stock.

I'll have to try to find one in 9mm just to try it out.
