I loading Hi-Tech coated lead and it is .356 for 9mm. When I load .355 in FMJ. I have stopped buying plated as they are to problematic. The 38Super, .380, and 357Sig should be 355/356. There are about 18 cartridges in this caliber.

When I had the 357 I loaded .357 FMJ and .358 lead WCs. I loaded them about half way between 38+p and 357mag in 38Special cases. I did load them long so they would not fit in a 38Special.

There is also a lot of 45 calibers out there. 45Colt, 45 Long Colt, 45ACP, 45GAP, 454 Casull, 45 HP, 45 Special, 45 Schofield, and about 11 others.

There is alway somebody doing a wildcat cartridge with a piece of necked down rife cartridge. I had an uncle that was a Armorer in the Marines and cross-trained as a machinist/mechanic. He liked to take a .50 BMG case and neck it down to use heavy bullets in the .308 to .410 sizes. He was into long distance shooting.
