Had to order one of these from Ranch Dog, and it arrived yesturday. Casts from very nice boolits. I cast about 500 out of pure linotype and they weigh in consistantly at 96.4-96.8 grains. I loaded up 50 for the .380 (Walther PPK/S, Bersa Thunder Plus, Ruger LCP) They seem to feed just fine hand cyceling.
I don't use alox anymore since my wife threatened to kill me in my sleep as she hates the smell. I lubed them in my RCBS Lubamatic, which puts filled in the tiny lube grooves just fine. (I use a heater and use some blue lube, probably blue angel, that I picked up at an estate sale for a ridiculously cheap price... $20 for 30 2x6 sticks).
Loaded up some 9mm as well. Both .380 and 9mm are using Power Pistol.
We will have a range report in the next few days.

This is my "go to" boolit for 380 ACP. I cast it from 92/6/2 alloy and size to .356". The as cast .358" does not chamber in my "cap gun". I use 2.8 grains of HP38 and get excellent 20' accuracy (IMO outer limit for that weapon) Tumbe lube with 45/45/10 liquid, no LLA smell, dries quickly to a non-sticky film. This formula has been tested in other boolits up to 1800 fps with no leading problems

+1 on the Recluse 45/45/10 tumble lube (45% Johnson's Paste Wax, 45% Lee Liquid Alox or liquid Xlox, and 10% Mineral Spirits). I use it on almost all my pistol boolits and most of my rifle ones as well. Up to 1800 fps, It works just fine, and It may be okay beyond that. I load the 358-242 95 Grain boolits over WW-231 for use in my PPK/S and my Beretta 84f.
