This might not be the proper place to ask this but here goes, if it needs moved or deleted thats okay!
Does anyone know where i can buy bulk copper coated 95gr. bullets for my wife 380. i don't want to cast them, i don't want to mess with buying gas check moulds ans sizer die ect.
National hasn't got there machine back running, and so far i haven't found a good price on jacketed 380 bullets
I would be great full for some help here! I shoot cast bullets in all my pistols and have for 30 years! I just don't want to in her little gun, I quess I am lazy or afraid i will for get to clean it after shooting cast bullets, and then her have to use it(god I hope she never does) and it jam on her!
Give me your thoughts.
Thanks Greg

I think Midway had those in bulk in their dealer flyer a week or two ago.

I have the Midway Flyer in front of me. The Rainier 380 ACP (.355" Dia) 95gr list for $39.99 for 500. Product No. 321-371.

I bought a batch of those early this year and loaded about half of them up. I carry a .380 in my flight bag, and hadn't been shooting it for a long time. Factory .380 is too pricey for me for how little bullet you get.

3.3 gr of AA#2 and they shoot well and cycle reliably in both of our .380's.

I’ve had good luck with the Berry bullet in a PPK, although I haven’t priced them lately. I’ve also had good luck with the little 102 grain Lee cast round nose. This is a plain base boolit. I have not had leading problems. Either flies well when pushed by 3 grains of Bullseye. The load is slightly mild compared to most factory ammo. It is accurate & comfortable to shoot.
