38 lrn in 380?

[Paradox]

Got a deal on a big box of 38 lead RN bullets for my 38 spl.
Is there a problem loading them for 380 ACP?

Those lead 38 spec. bullets will have a dia. of 357-358. Your 380 is desigend to work with bullets that are .355-.356 in dia. Same as for 9mm.

You would have to resize the bullets down to at lease .356 dia in a sizing die or you may have problems with the loaded round being too large in dia. and failing to chamber in your .380 barrel chamber.

JB, I am hoping he was just referring to 38 spec. lead bullets for reloading, not 38 spec. cartidges, but you never know on the web.

Thanks, I knew there was something.
