who uses the lee 356. 120 gr tc mold? what diam. does it cast? i was hopeing it would be close to .358 i wanted a light action shooting 38. thanks

I have it.
It casts great, and i size it to .357 for my 9mm. I am susupecting it would make a good .38spl casting, depending on alloy.
It also lubes great. It fits nicely in the pan.
It shoots real well in my 9mm also.
In my opinion, a good mold.

does this bullet have a bb? is it looks like there 40 cal 175 gr bullet.

It has just a slight curve to it.
Sometimes exacerbated by low temp in casting.
I find, when sizing to .357 the curve in minimized. .358, it is still there.

I shoot it in my CZ75 9mm, my .38 Super Spanish Destroyer and my M91 Mauser in .35 Remington. I think mine drop at .360 when cast hard or .3585 when cast of range lead + 2% tin (pretty soft). This bullet has a very small (I do mean small) BB that does not seem to pick up any lube when lubing in a Lyman 450. A very good bullet BTW.

Hi guys,

Has anyone used the Lee 120 grain TC in a 380 ACP? If so, what were your results?
