    380,,,lee swc105

    Just dipped my toe in the 380 water.
    Never had anything to do with a pea shooter,i find it neat,that the lee 105swc,feeds in the bersa,and the oal lenth puts this bullet in a perfect place,in the crimp groove,thought i would share.

    I have been using the Lee 105 SWC for my .380 reloading since I got the dies for that caliber many years ago. Since then I have added several other molds for the .380 work - RN, RF, and so on. It's something of an addiction, don't you know. In spite of having various other mold patterns available I still prefer the Lee 105 above all the others. This design is absolutely reliable for feed-up and group sizes can't be beat. It just doesn't get any better than this.

    I have used the Lee 105 in a lot of different 380s through the years it works in almost all of them.
    Those groups at 25 yards with a Bersa 380 are amazing , I have never had a 380 I could shoot that well

    It's a very handy bullet that my 9mms and .38 Specials like a lot.

    I occasionally load the 105SWC in 38 Super. 1500+fps and pretty accurate from a 5" barrel.
