I have been using this mold for my 9mm - has anyone used it for 380? If yes - any suggested load using unique - just bought a bersa thunder

Not a lot of feed back on this one....wish I could help but my mould is the 356-120-TC , not the tumble lube version. With this boolit I find 2.7 grains of Unique is pretty good , but not my favorite.
For the 380 I like to use a little faster powder like Bullseye, Red Dot , 700X or 231 .
At one time I used Unique for everything , even 32 acp...but these small rounds don't develop enough pressure to completely and cleanly burn Unique so you might get a few unburned powder flakes . No big deal but some folks get all upset about it and holler...Unique burns dirty !
