Make a 356 from a 357 lee mold

[tackstrp]

Here is a 357 Lee 6-Cavity Bullet Mold 358-105-SWC 38 Special, 357 Magnum, 38 Colt New Police (358 Diameter) 105 Grain Semi-Wadcutter. if ran thru the 357 sizier then the 356 sizer seems to me would make one nice 380 auto bullet.

lee preciision says not necessay to fill the grooves but to lube ther rest of the bearing surfaces. would give it a try but dont own a 380, Tenoted ti buy one

I've shot thousands of the little 105's in various 9mm's, sized to .357". Very accurate and very conserving of lead. My 9mm's sluged (4) .355" to .356".

you don't haveta size 'em twice. you could go directly to .356 easily.

I use it in my 380 with a bore of .358. It works well but I have to use a taper crimp to get reliable feeding. My load is 2.4gr BE or RedDot.

I just size them to .356 after giving a light coat of LLA. Push through without much effort. Great little boolit for 9mm and .380.

I size a .360 - .361 slug (144gr wad-cutter or 158gr semi-wad cuter) to .356 with a Lee .356 sizer - no problem at all.
