This mold can be used for 9mm and .380? if so that is great as i just purchased a .380. Sorry for the dumb question.

Pretty heavy for a .380. Not that it can't work, but semi-autos need to work over a smaller
range of LOA and ammo power than revolvers, and this restricts boolit length, shape and
wt. With a tiny case like the .380, I'd set the upper limit more like 105.

For the .380 and 9mm double duty I'd much more recommend the 38 105 SWC, also
it is a KNOWN GOOD design that has worked extremely well for many users in .380, .38 Spl
and 9mm. This is a heavy boolit in .380, fairly light in 9mm (but works well) and one of
the lightest in .38 Spl (but works very well). Feeds well in the semi-autos, too. Plan on
running it at .357 or .358 in .380 or 9mm, depending on the particular dimensions of
YOUR barrel.
