38 Long,Short Colt /Mid loading for moon clips

[Wee Hooker]

So I'm thinking about cutting some 38 special cases down to short colt and/or mid length dimensions to feed my moon clipped S&W's. (627,986. Trr8). I found an old thread where it seems some of you good folks have this all figured out so was hoping you might give some advice.

So my initial question is "what dies to use?" Do I need to buy short colt dies? Can I use 38 special, 38 super or 9mm dies? I would like to here who is using what on which case length.

Thanks!
