Anyone cast for 380 & 9mm with 1 mold?

Looking for a mold I can use for both our guns 380 & 9mm luger. All input appreciated!

Depends on your guns and what size your mold drops!

I have one of the new 138gn MiHec 9mm no lube groove 6 banger molds that drops 357 boolits. I can size them down to 356 for my S&W 9mm and powder coat and size again for 356......or powder coat them (which adds about 2+ thou) like they drop, and size them at 358 for my 38 SPL's.

Both fit MY guns. But you need to slug YOUR barrels and determine what YOU need.

Good luck!

I don't load for 380 but the new Lee 95gr boolit works well in my 9's for reduced loads but don't know of a boolit that would be a good full power load for both.

Lee makes a 102grain round nose, #90305, that has worked well for me in both .380 and 9mm. It works well and is inexpensive.

Try the lyman 356242

I use the Lee 120gr. TC mold for both the .380 and 9MM. Does good in both.

Not all 380's can chamber bullets heavier than 100gr, if that much. You can only seat fairly shallow before the cases buckle. Not all 9mm's cycle very well with bullets lighter than 115gr. Depends on YOUR guns.

I have an NEI mold by Walt for 109 gr TC that works in both. Since that was 30 years ago, I don't know if they still offer it. The new Lee 95 FN works great in 380, haven't tried it in 9mm yet.

NOE version of 358242 over 4.0 grains Bullseye is working great in 9mm. Same bullet over 3.0 grains W231 working for .380.

I also use the Lee 102 gr. It works great in all my 9mms and 380s.
