Re: Dillon 9mm or .380acp shell plate for .223 cases?

The 380 shell plate is the 223 shell plate. They are the same. You are on the right path. 9mm is too big.

Re: Is it possible...loading 380s using 9mm dies.

I bought an old auto load machine for 38 and 9mm conversion. It is over 40 years old and puts out alot of ammo. I got a good deal. The dies have to come from ammo load load and they are expensive.
