I'm going to do that. I just talked to Hunter at Starline and he said the rims on 9mm and 38 SuperComp are identical. He also confirmed that 38 SuperComp is a straight wall case, as is 38 Super. There won't be any issues with hot 38 Super loads from a "loose" chamber aspect. There's a lot of inaccurate information on the web about 38 SuperComp being a tapered case like the 9mm SuperComp. Maybe I need to play with 9mm SuperComp a bit to see what I can get out of them in my CZs. (I'm reverting back to my younger years when I foolishly tried to squeeze every last foot-per-second velocity out of every cartridge I loaded!).

Chas.

EDITED: Ignore the comment about 9mm SuperComp. Apparently I misunderstood Hunter's comments. 9mm SuperComp is still 9X23 brass, although the headstamp is now "9X23."
Just remember them faster bullets really just let you know you have missed quicker than the slower ones.
