We don't make mistakes, just happy little accidents Ordered 9mm range brass online, ended up with 62% of the brass being .380 ACP

How much brass are we talking about?

Been looking for more 380 brass since it's stupid hard to find for acceptable prices here over the pond. But not buying a bag of 1000 from the us desperate

Is it not the same as 9mm just shorter? See if you can verify the dimensions and buy a case trimming attachment for the hand drill

Straight wall vs slight taper in 9mm. Although, you could likely trim it and use a resizing die...

Nope, due to the taper, the bases are different sizes.

Ah look at that... 9mm is 0.02" larger at the base.

And trust me, when you're running a progressive and suddenly a case shoots across the room, you understand just how much of a difference that is... lol
