Anyone tried the Lee 9mm 105 grain SWC (or anything like it) in the 9 mm Browning Short, better known as .380 ACP?

Should work OK.
You might want to size it at .355 though.

I tried it a few years ago, it worked fine for me but I got rid of the pistol. Like Ed says make sure you size the bullet to your pistol.

I use a 105 cast bullet to duplicate the Rem golden saber 102 grn load I carry. I as able to match the point of impact point of aim pretty close. I didnt cast it myself its a "silver" bullet Cant remeber the companies actual name. Shoots very good in both my 380s and in some others weve tried it in

I've loaded and tested the 105SWC in just about all my 380's. Some liked it, some didn't. The 120TC mold modified to drop a groove-less 105TC works fantastic and one of my favorites.

I shot them in my LCP until I got a couple of other molds. Sized .357" and used with HP-38 they shot fine.

Ive used it. It hung up some times on the drive band. Ive moved to the Lee 356 95 RF. Feeds perfectly.
