Can you use the same 9m19 dies to reload the 9K and 9x18 like you can do with the 38/357?

9mm Kurtz, yes.

I've never had a 9x18, but it looks to me like there is too much difference in bullet diameter.

PA-Joe,

9x19=0.356"
9x18=0.365"

I assume you are meaning the 9x18 Makarov?

I don't think the 9mm para dies will work with it...BCB

Although the 9x19 and 9 Kurz (380 ACP) both use the same diameter bullet, the 9x19 is a tapered cartridge and thus, the 9 Kurz will not go far enough into the die to size the case. The 9x18 Mak definately can not use either the 9x19 or 380 die as the bullet diamter is so much greater. Not sure about the 9 Ultras (9x18 and 9x18.5) but they are cylindrical and should work in a 380 die.

The 9x18 Ultra can be made using the .380/9x17/9mm Kurtz
The 9x18 Makarov cannot.

I didn't realize that the 9x18 makarov was 0.365. Thank you!
