Quote from Reloader on August 5, 2007, 1:43 amI love my Square deal & use it for 357 Mag & 45ACP. I am now needing to reload for my 9 X 18 Makarov, I really dont want to upgrade to the 550 or 650 & have to buy complete conversion kits all over again. for the above, Is there a conversion kit available the 9 X 18 Makarov, or plans for one, or any way the 380 conversion kit could be customized by dillon to work with the 9 X 18 Makarov.or am I stuck with the calibers listed. My only other option would seem to be to get standard dies for my turret press.
Thanks
Jeff

Quote from Reloader on August 6, 2007, 11:32 pmAt this time we do not offer a SDB conversion for 9mm Makarov. This cartridge uses a .364" diameter projectile, and is not compatible with any dies for similar cartridges. The #5 shell plate will work for most brands of reloadable 9mm Mak brass, but you would have to obtain conventional 7/8-14 TPI dies and alter them in a lathe to fit the SDB. Based on conversion kit sales for the RL550 and XL650, while there are lots of makarov handguns in circulation, most owners don't choose to reload for them at this time.

Quote from Reloader on December 4, 2009, 9:06 pmThanks! I have used a SQB for .38 and 9mm a few years ago, with great pleasure. Then I got out of it for a few years, and back into it with .45 Gold Cup, .40 S&W and .223 Rem. I must adfmit it is a task trying to find components! Glad to be back into it.
