I have a die set for 9,3x74R. Can I use these dies for 9,3x72R cartridges? Same bullets at .366.

The 9,3x72R is a much less powerful round. Used in older drilling, singles, break open. I would use different load data.

But these look the same cartridges. The 9.3X72R is an older cartridge was early on with black powder that was upgraded to the much more powerful 9.3X74R Smokeless.

Th 9.3X72R will fit in my 9.3X74R Rifle. But not vice versa. Same rim size. The barrel is 9.44 and 10.44. Won/t fit with my dies! Oh well.

and thank you @Carlos88
