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.
Im glad it will work in the bersa,because i already know how very accurate this bullet is,,in 38-357,s...
Think ill have fun with this little gun!
I bought an old used and abused lyman 358242 mold at a gun show for 10 bucks,,all of a sudden,i decided i need a gun for that mold,not fiscally responsible,but who cares
Just got back from 380 therapy,,that lee boolit with 3grs hp38,,10 shot group just over 2 inches@25 yards,,happy!!!
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
Im impressed!!!see a problem though,,the beaver tail hammer gaurd,almost debarked the skin on my tight hand,after 50 rounds.may have to customize that,down the road.
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.
