.380 and 9mm mold?

[gimling]

Hello all im new to casting enjoying it very much VERY slow going but I am getting parts in here and there, been doing a lot of reading and researching the past 6 or so months while patiently waiting on my equipment and supplies. My question, is there a Hollow point bullet mold that I can size into a 9mm and a .380?? I am looking into the MP-molds (which I hear he is a member here). could use a little direction thanks all.

Sure about any mold will work for both 9 and 380. Depending on your barrel diameter both probably need something around .357. The biggest thing with a bullet for both would be bullet weight. A standard 115 grain or 124 grain 9mm bullet is a little big for the 380 and can cause problems when loaded in the smaller 380 case. A few guys myself included are messing around with the Lee 358 105 SWC in both the 380 and 9mm as well as the 38. It will be a give and take deal with bullet weight but if you are just looking for a plinker pick a good bullet for the 380 and use it as a light plinker in the 9. Finding a HP mold to work well in both could be a challenge.
