Is it possible to reload 9x23 cases on 9mm dies and shell plate? The dimensions are the same except for the lenght. Thanks

Yes it is possible. Some people prefer to use the 9mm dies.

IF 9 X 23 has the same taper as 5.56 and uses the same shell plate, wouldn't 5.56 (.223 Rem) dies be the proper choice, so as to keep the cases tapered?

You would have to change out the sizer but the problem is that the 223 is a bottle neck cartrige and also the sizer is desined to neck the case back to .223 so you can't change the sizer out, and last but not least you could not use the bullet seat/crimp die at all. It would be easier just to buy 9mm dies and run them up

I have 9mm dies, and I'm pretty new to reloading. I don't want to monkey with the settings (OAL) on my 9x19 set up, so what would I need to reload 9x23?

Just another seating die and a taper crimp die if you use one. I've used both and I went with the Hornady die set so I don't have to keep resetting the dies and I know which is which.

You would also need another expander die or powder die. The only thing in common 9x19 to 9x23 would be the sizing die. After all that, I would go for the complete extra set and make up a toolhead ready to go.
