Hi Rick,

You were waaaay ahead of me on your case options. A few years back I bought some 9mm Winchester Mag cases to form mostly into .30 Mauser. Then Starline comes out with .30 Mauser and .30 Tokarev cases and the 9mm Mag cases are in storage until the day I may need them again.

I also have some .38 Super cases which I can use in my Chinese Tokarev after switching to the conversion kit and also in an Astra 400. For the Astra, I'm very careful to keep my loads within 9mm Largo/.38 ACP pressures and velocity. The 400 is a beautifully-made pistol but not up to a diet of factory-level .38 Super ammo.
