I finally got a working boolit load for my PMK-380 (Walther ppk clone). I traded for a Lee 6 cav 125-2r-tl mould, which produced boolits that a) had to be seated below the case mouth to fit the magazine and b) fired cases would catch on the case mouth of the next cartridge.
I then traded for some 102 Lee boolits from another member. As cast, they would not fit the chamber, so a sizer was ordered (.356). Upon arrival, the sizer sized at .355, but I figured I'd give it a go before lapping it out. Using a charge of Bullseye and 102 gr boolits lubed with 45/45/10, I shot the smallest 10 yd group that I've shot with this pistol-2.25" w/ 15 shots. I've shot several different factory loads, most barely staying on an 8.5 x 11 sheet of paper.
Looks like I'll be buying a new mold and turning one into a core mold for my .44 swage die.
