None of the commercial casters only offer RN bullets in the 90-100 gn. range {380}.
Is it because of a feeding problem that no one offers RF bullets ? I think Lee is the only mold maker that offers a 95 gn RF mold.
I did see some Buffalo Bore 100 gn. RF +P bullets at my local gun shop, but Buffalo Bore wouldn't answer my question about the mold they use.
Seams 380 shooters are stuck with thimble looking bullets.

I use Lee's 102 gr RN in my 380. It eats them like candy. I don't see any cycling/feeding issues at all.

SNS casting has them, I use their boolits.

Accurate makes several 380 molds, and arsenal has a tc style that I have been looking at. I have the lee 95 rf and powder coat em. Do have to seat prety short to feed reliably on some of my guns.

I have used the Lee 105 grain swc in 380.

Forum member CASTING MACHINE is a Vendor Sponsor in this forum. He sells .356" 95 gr RN. You might want to make contact.

I load the Lee 356-95-RF for my wife's Ruger LCP and it feeds and shoots great. I have to use the data for RN sometimes and the only adjustment I have to make is on the OAL. I adjust it a little shorter for the RF bullet.

I use Accurate 35-120H in the Ruger LCP, SIG P230 and Beretta M1934 with 2.5 grains of Bullseye. Feeds well in all and is more effective than the light LRN bullets.

We may be misunderstanding your question . Do you want round nose RN or round nose flat point RNFP ? are you looking for a mold ? Or commercial cast bullets ?

I use the Lyman 358242 light and heavy versions and an Arsenal 123 TC for my 380.

A commercial caster to see how they function. and YES RF = RNFP . I figured since Lee referred to them as RF there wouldn't be any confusion on the design I asked about.
