38 Super

Hello again!

Quick question - I have a SDB, which I love btw. I have the dies for 38/357, 9mm & 45acp. I have been thinking of getting a 38 Super 1911.

I don't think I need a full die set, based on the dies I already have. What additional parts would I need? Shell plate and locator buttons? I would probably just get the full die set and keep it on a spare tool head I have anyway, but still curious.

Thanks!!!

James

38 Super uses the same shellplate, locator pins & powder funnel as 9mm. You need a different sizing die & crimp die. Stock#s 22208, 12473

Thanks!

I'll probably just get the wholeset.

You only need a size die and a taper crimp die. All other conversion parts are the same as 9mm.
