Dillon caliber conversion kit 9mm work on .357?

[Opiy]

I know the 9mm caliber conversion will work with 40S&W but I wonder if it will work with 38spl and .357mag. They are a little bigger than the 40. The 40S&W is .424 and .357mag is .440 width so I expect no but thought I would ask and see if anyone has tried it.

But I bet the 40S&W caliber conversion will work with the .357Mag though. Hmmm The 9mm is .394 width.


Thanks

I never noticed that before.

But the 9MM conversion doesn't have the same number as the 40 but I use it to load mine and only problem is sometimes you get that one brass that is a little tight but it still works.

Different powder funnels of course though.

Plate #2 is for 38/357 mag.
Plate #5 is for 9mm
FWIW: My .40 S&W plate is a #5 too. The ONLY diff. is the 40's brass "buttons" are a bit smaller than the 9mm's is all.

Do you know if the .357 would work in the 40 plate or not though?

I have used the 40 brass to load with on the 9MM plate with only problem being every now and then one brass would be tight and may have to pull it out by hand instead of it just dropping.

I may end up just buying more conversion kits but if you can save $40 here and there then why not.

If they worked, why would Dillon make a seperate coversion kit???????
This is NOT the place to "cut corners" to save a few $$$.
