Post by: twinners on June 18, 2012, 09:59:49 PM: If 6mm = .244 then just dividing them out comes up with .366 for 9mm and .407 for 10mm.

Post by: lokidog on June 18, 2012, 10:07:11 PM: The conversion factor is 1mm = 0.0393700787 in

Interesting, I always thought a 9mm was .380 cal.

Post by: thurman on June 18, 2012, 10:14:37 PM: divide mm by 25.4 to convert to inches. 9mm divided by 25.4 = .3543 10mm diveded by 25.4 = .3937

Yes I have a 10mm and a 40S&W I reload for both same dies and yes you can use the same bullet for both. The 10 can be a little snappy if you load for that or it can be pretty tame like the 40S&W. I really like both fun to shoot and load. 10 brass is harder to find not real bad the 40 is easy find it all over.
One other note if you reload the 10 uses large pistol primers and the 40S&W uses small pistol primers.

Post by: pianoman9701 on June 21, 2012, 08:15:10 AM: 9mm = .354 cal
10mm= .394 cal

not sure about any interchangability, but those are the conversions.

I always thought the .380 was a 9mm Short (9mm kurz).

Wonder if you could call the 40 S&W a 10mm Short? :peep:

Post by: TONTO on June 21, 2012, 09:36:00 PM: The .380 is 9mm (.355), .38 is .357..........go figure :dunno:

Post by: Button Nubbs on June 22, 2012, 06:22:02 AM: Huntinguy,

We don't need to call it 10mm short. Its already called the .40 Short and Weak. :chuckle:

Post by: marlin on June 25, 2012, 12:33:26 PM: 10mm is king! I have all 3.. a .380 that stays in my pocket just as much as my wallet, and a 9mm that is used mostly for plinking, and a g20 10mm that puts a smile on my face every time I pull the trigger! I dont understand why 10mm isnt so popular and .40 short and weak is.. You can load 10 down to .40 power but why? I like the sting in my hand and the BOOM. Get a 10mm, and some doubletap 200gr and go put a smile on your face. I let my buddy shoot my G20 and I think he is going to dump his .45 and get a 10
