I bought this mold and use it for my .380 LCP. Works well.

Decided to get back into 9mm, bought a new pistol and am planning using these as 102 grain round noses as well. Just curious if anyone has done the same and how they turned out? I know it's a pretty light bullet for 9mm, so I'm going to experiment with both light comfortable target loads and speedy SD loads.

Comments? I know, search engines are my friend, but I haven't found a whole lot on the subject so far...

I used it earlier this month with 4.0 grains of Red Dot--was quite accurate for plinking on cans... I had used the Lee 105 SWC, but it would often jam in my Taurus 99AF. When it didn't, it too was quite accurate.

I wish Lee made the 102 in a 6-banger--I have some buds that want to reload for 380, and this looks like a good one. I guess Lee only makes it in a 2-holer version, so I'll have to try that 105 swc.

For a while there, if it weren't for that mold, I wouldn't have been able to shoot my LCP at all! I mean NADA .380 ammo anywhere! LOL. Now, it's all I carry are my own cast and reloaded...

I'm going to hit the reloading bench this weekend for some loads in the 9mm now.

I use that bullet with Titegroup for my 9mm and 380. Had to work up a load to cycle the 9mm.
