Thank you for the reminder.

With the two rounds being so darn close I can easily see how it happens. while not getting them mixed up in a magazine for a gun I have had .380 brass get mixed in with my 9mm brass and have loaded up a few .380s with 9mm loads. At first I just felt like the brass had already been de-capped and re-sized, luckily the bullets fell out of the brass when they dropped down into the ammo bin, after a few of these mistakes I learned what to feel for and what to look for. Now whenever the case sizes too easily I pull it and inspect it sometimes it's a .380 that got picked up at the range by mistake. What would happen if one of these made its way into my old Model 39, i don't know, but I'm pretty sure if they found their way into a .380 there would be some damage.
