9MM LRN in 38 Special

I had about 2000 9MM LRN bullets given to me, but I do not reload for 9mm.
Has anyone ever used these to load the 38 special?
There is .002" difference in bullet diameter, so will it work.
These would just be plinking loads, very mild.
Thanks

They will make great shooters but not match grade.

Depends on how hard they are & how fast you drive them. If they are soft enough, they may slug up to fit the bore for decent accuracy at shorter range. I would trade them off for some 158grLSWC.
