Does anyone know off the top of their head the dimensions of the 9 mm Largo case and bullet diameter, especially when compared to the 9 mm Lugar?
If so, thanks in advance.

    If your quest is pertaining to reloads my book on cartridge conversions by George C. Nonte Jr. states "38 ACP cases will usually work OK unaltered. Use .355 bullets"
    I have done this in my 1921 Destroyer carbine with no problems.

    Thanks everybody. I was hoping that 9mm parabellum could be fired in a 9 mm Largo gun. Reason being that I have piles of 9mm plastic bullet with steel bb laying around and am trying to find a semi-auto pistol that will function with that ammo. My Marlin camp carbine 9mm loves the stuff. And at 3 cents per round (that includes shipping) I love it too. But i will admit it is not made for anything but short range which is ok at an indoor range, etc.
