9mm bullet used in .380 Auto reloads

I am assuming that since the diameters btwn .380 and 9mm are the same, that one would use a 9mm .355 bullet seated in a .380 case with the appropriate powder charge.

Thanks,
Steve

Yes but I would stay to the lighter end of the bullet weight.

As usual just my $.02

No trouble at all just make sure you use the proper power weight for the weight of the bullet.
