The LULA SR25 /DPMS Loader will work only with 243, 308 and 7.62X51 (NATO) ammunition loaded in 5/10/20/25-round SR25 type metal and polymer magazines. 380 and 45ACP are typically pistol cartridges and will not work in this LULA model.

Doug, all you have to do is either purchase the right Dies for 7.62 x 39 and your on your way to re-loading. Lee sells Loaders with a certain caliber Die set with their intended loader. You can change the Dies with different Die packs and load what ever caliber you want, Rifle or Pistol caliber. But if this is your first time, maybe a SINGLE stag loader is best for you to start with, then you can move up to this multi-stage loader. Good luck.

Yes! Handles my Bersa CC .380 single stack. Can work on other .380 magazine as well...

I have loaded thousands of 45acp and 45acp+p with the same dies, my understanding is that you can load 45super also.

Yes, I've loaded both 9mm pistol and .223 rifle and plan to pick up dies for .45, 30-06 and 7.62X39. You'll need dies which usually include the shell holder. For rifle ammo you'll need case trimming tools etc. I get all my load data from the powder manufacturer's web site and take recommendation from the rep at my local gun shop on types of powder. There's also a lot of good reloading videos on you tube to get some baseline information in lieu of printed literature.

RRogers. I don't think you will have a problem. I hold the magazine and loader in the same hand which keeps everything where it should be. The loader has a tab at the bottom that you can use to index the magazine, but I rarely use it. The loader has an open design so slight differences in magazines should not matter too much. I use the same loader with a 10 round Hi-Point single stack magazine without any trouble.

Yes you can. I have purchased setups for 6 or7 different calibers. It is truely wonderful the way it functionsDavid

Yes you can. you well need the other dies of course and you can either change them out out you can buy a 5 hole turret that you can install the dies in permanently. You will also need a shell plate for your other caliber. It's a good reloader for the money. You will enjoy loading with it.

Yes it will work very well for both,, i have loaded everything from 38 short colt to 30-378 weatherby, and it has never let me down

No, they are two different calibers and are not interchangeable. This product page has confused some, because the product name says ".38 Special" snap caps, but the picture shows a 380 snap cap. The picture and product description on this page do not match. I am assuming the product description (".38 Special") is correct, and the picture is wrong. HTH

I originally got this to load the M&P; .45 (a double stack magazine), and this loader turned extremely hard magazines to load into fast and easy, but I was also quite pleased to find that it works just as well for my Beretta 9MM mags (17 round single stack). I think this would likely work well for most any mag, to include the M&P; 9MM, just by the way it's designed and think you'd be impressed and glad to have this device.

Yes, you can use it to load .45ACP. I ran into a problem however, the 45acp requires a crimp on the brass. I have been told that this loader will crimp the brass, but Im not sure how. Hopefully, someone will come along shortly and explain that!

The 380 requires a booster pump. If you have two pumps it is probally a 380. If you have one pump a 360.

This HKS 940 speed loader does not work with my Ruger LC9s(9mm) magazine. It works great with my Glock 19 (also 9mm)mag. It is a double stack loader and not intended for a single stack magazine.

No, you have to get the specific dies for the caliber you are loading separately.

I use this with a Ruger LCP380 7rd mag the adjustment is about in the middle so you should have no problems with the 10rd. The LCP 380 mag is real loose in theHKS 943 loader but it works great. Also have a S&W; 9 in which it also works great.

You might look in the 3rd edition of Lymans Cast Bullet Handbook to get your loads. I found loads there unavailable in the newer manual.
