hello;

trying to get the suggested o.a.l. of a bullet cast from lyman's 356632 mold (100 grain bullet). called lyman and was told this mold was not a current manufacturerd mold so there was no data on o.a.l.

also asked for data using bullseye and hp38, again told lyman does not have this data, call the powder manufactures.

anyone have a suggested o.a.l. and reloading data using bullseye or hp38 for the lyman 356632 bullet mold.

thanks for any input.

OAL will be the SAAMI spec of 25mm or .984". Measure the boolit length, subtract the case length from OAL and you have the seating depth. I'm just getting ready to load 380 ACP and it appears that 4-4.5 gn of Unique is a pretty standard load for that boolit.

Seat the bullet until it functions correctly in the magazine. 2.8rains of Bullseye works well.
