I use it for .38, .357 and 7.62X25, Work well as any only one I had trouble with was the 7.62 but it can be a bear to load anyhow. Got some 9MM I'll be trying soon don't expect any trouble out of it thou.

Oh I forgot I've loaded some 7X57 and 8MM with it work just fine.

I've reloaded some 9mm S&B and the only thing I've noticed is the primer pocket crimp can leave a sharp edge that can cause troubles with priming but a quick hit with a chamfer tool cleans it up to make priming easy.

My only experience with S & B is in the 22 Hornet, found the primer flash hole to be undersized.  Kept pulling the decapping pin out of the rod.  Sorta a PITA, after about the 4th time I just put that brass to the side.  Thankfully there's only 20 of them.
