I have a Lee 124 grain RN TL mold I use for 9mm. Since my 9mm has kind of a fat groove diameter, I have expanded the cavities so that the bullets drop at around .3585"
I'm picking up a Ruger LCP to be my every day carry gun, and I want to put enough rounds down range to feel really confident if I ever have to use the gun in a dangerous situation. Practicing a lot with self defense ammo is expensive.
Think I could get away with making practice ammo using the 124gr mold? I realize 124 is heavy for .380 ACP, but for practice ammo I don't care about velocity or terminal performance, I just want it to be reasonably accurate out to 15 yards or so.
If this mold is a no go, can anyone recommend for me a good mold to make plinking ammo? I'd prefer a RN, RNFP, or TC type profile so it will feed well, rather than something like a SWC.
Also looking at using AA#2 since it's such a short barrel, if anyone has powder recommendations otherwise, I'm all ears. Thanks!
