I have made 3 ball 357mag with 000. It worked well for its intended purpose.

I don’t have a mold for the 380 yet. My 9 mold is 125 and I have had bad results trying to make them work in the 380.

My 000 are about 70 grain and fairly hard. I think if I size them to .356 and use a light load for a 90 grain RN I may be able to get them to work well enough for close in practice.

Opinions?

Lots of people use it in .38 Special and .357 Mag.
Works well for very light loads.

I expect it would work fine in the .380 but it would probably be a single shot proposition.
