The TL358-100-RF is my second offering for the 380 Auto. My work with a heavy bullet for full framed 380 Autos is complete and the molds and bullets are out and in use. That bullet, the TL358-125-RF goal was to provide a Hatcher Index that met or exceeded the index for a 115-grain 9mm Luger bullet and my offering exceeded the expectation. This buy for the "Little Brother" 100-grain bullet addresses the short magazine requirements of typical sub-compacts that are chambered for this cartridge while providing a slightly heavier bullet to help improve impact energy and increase the "Hatcher Index".
For a complete drawings, please see my website link at the bottom of this post.
These are Lee Precision six-cavity molds without the handles. The bullet has Micro Bands (TL) for tumble lubing with liquid Alox though they will pass through any traditional lubesizer. The bullet nose is a "round-flat" design with a 72% meplat.
