Thinking about buying a double cavity Lee mold in 380acp from Midway . Lee 356-102-1R , on sale and with handles for $18.20 with handles , round nose , 102gr .

Just wondered if anyone had used one or have an opinion ?

That is NOT a .32 ACP mold, it's a .356" diameter, you want a .311"

JT and I have started a Group Buy discussion here on a mold useable in .32 ACP. Please read and join in:

I cast about 900 boolits with this mold. From a S & W bodyguard, they put 1" groups on the target at 30'. For the .380 auto loads, there was no difference in function or accuracy between Bullseye and Unique. They did equally well in 9 x19 loads from a Browning Hi-power, can't remember which powder (not at home).

Glad they had one for you Boaz! I loaded all the .380's in the Fall of 2012 and ran out of brass. Found the 90+ boolits left over during this winter and loaded them for 9 mm, just because I had the Dillon 550 set up from loading other boolits. Very happy with that run. Good luck.
