Dillon 9mm

[MtnMike2]

I just saw in the new Midway brochure a Dillon barrel for the Glock 20 that makes it a 9mm. Above it is Dillon 9mm ammo - the ad says it necks down a 10mm case for a 9mm bullet, producing very high velocities for an auto. They show velocities comparable to 357 mag. Ammo is expensive.

Does anyone out there have experience with this? Are there dies available?

Thanks in advance,
Mike

Are there dies available?

Since Dillo is a major company in the reloading field, I'd say it's lkely they'd have dies for thier own proprietory cartridge.

BlkHawk73,

Welcome to the Forum; I see this is only your 6th post. I agree, Dillion surely has the proper dies on establishment.

Again, welcome to this site.

:) The Dillion is the Dillion cause Mike says it is..... The 357 Sig is the 10mm shortened to 40 S&W, necked down for a .355 bullet. Most places a 9mm is a .355 and a 40 S&W is a 10mm Kurtz. Course the 9x25 is what Dillion calls the 9mm Dillon. Which is just the 10mm necked down to 9mm or .355. Still with me?

The round actually comes from Australia and Mike just passed the wand over it and proclamed it to be a 9mm Dillion. Not one of Mike's better moments in my humble opinion. He just came down with Remington-itis. Remington has also "developed" cartridges like this over the years.

Marketing cartridges....an answer to a question that was never asked.

Rapier,
Not one of my better moments, eh sir? Maybe not. In my profound ignorance, I called this post Dillon 9mm as (as previously stated) the Midway flyer listed a Dillon barrel and "9 x 23 mm Dillon Ammunition".
I posed the question since I obviously knew nothing about it. Since this forum proved less than informative, I searched and found the 9 x 23 mm on other sites. You're right, it's not a Dillon and it apparently has been around for a good while. An interesting old thread on another site:

Thank you,
