Size .380 to .358?

[NMBillB]

Recently picked up a couple of Ruger LCP's that I'm looking at casting for. I'm looking at the Lee 356-102R.
I already cast for the .357, using a Star Lubrisizer with .358 die. Can I, or more to the point, would it be dumb, to use the same lube/size die for the .380?
Just getting back into the shooting/reloading/casting sports, and would rather not blow up my pistols.
Thanks

Assuming your .380 measures an actual .356", I see no reason why the .358 wouldn't work.
.002" isn't going to be a problem and who knows, your .380 might measure bigger than 356".

Thanks, that's what I was thinking, but figured I'd ask the dumb question before things went wrong.
I appreciate the answer.

I have 2- 380s 2 -9mms and 2- 38 supers i use bullets sized to 0.357 in all guns in which 3 have match grade barrels and have 0.355 barrels . all shoot better with bullets sized to 0.357 over 0.356 dia . havent tried 0.358 dia as accuracy is excellent !

That's how I do it. Works fine. I load to .955" LOA.
