Tech question.... 9mm handgun ammo...

[Sniper338]

I got in 1000 pieces of brass i got online.. once fired... for 9mm luger our regular old 9mm right...
As ive been prepping brass ive found a few pieces of 9mm mack in it...

i know factory loaded ammo wise they DO NOT interchange... the 9 mack shot .365 bullets and our lugaer shot .355...

BUT if some of this 9 mack brass has gotten by me and i load it with the regular ol .355 will it still shot and runfine through the 9mm luger? From what i understand its just a milimeter shorter... but loaded with the correct bullet i am fairly sure itd shoot fine... just wondering what yall think...


not best case senario... aleays want correct rounds... but im loading by the 1000 bulk so im sure some cases got loaded...

That one millimeter shorter is ~ .039” additional to headspace if you taking length, base of the case to case mouth.

If the 9 Mak is European ammo I doubt it's boxer primed (berdan most likely),along with the head space issue, the case O.D would be too large (probably fold in your die). Use the right brass for the gun.......
